But listen to me. For one moment quit being sad. Hear blessings dropping their blossoms around you.
RumiIf you have not learned to be a passionate lover, do not count your life as lived. On the day of reckoning, it will not be counted.
RumiIf we come to sleep we are His drowsy ones And if we come to wake we are in His hands If we come to weeping we are His cloud full of raindrops And if we come to laughing we are His lightning in that moment If we come to anger and battle it is the reflection of His wrath And if we come to peace and pardon it is the reflection of His love Who are we in this complicated world?
RumiIf you put on shoes that are too tight and walk out across an empty plain, you will not feel the freedom of the place unless you take off your shoes. Your shoe-constriction has you confined. At night before sleeping you take off the tight shoes, and your soul releases into a place it knows. Dreams glide deeper.
Rumi
