There is no room for hypocrisy. Why use bitter soup for healing when sweet water is everywhere?
RumiIn this mob of I's inside, which one is me? Hear me out. I know I'm wandering, but don't start putting a lid on this racket. No telling what I'll do then. Every moment I'm thrown by your story. One moment it's happy, and I'm singing. One moment it's sad, and I'm weeping. It turns bitter, and I pull away. But then you spill a little grace, and just like that, I'm all light. It's not so bad, this arrangement, actually.
RumiThere is one way of breathing that is shameful and constricted. Then, there's another way: a breath of love that takes you all the way to infinity.
