Without you the instruments would die. One sits close beside you. Another takes a long kiss. The tambourine begs, Touch my skin so I can be myself. Let me feel you enter each limb bone by bone, that what died last night can be whole today. Why live some soberer way, and feel you ebbing out? I won't do it. Either give me enough wine or leave me alone, now that I know how it is to be with you in constant conversation.
RumiThis is the essence of all sciences - that you should know who you will be when the Day of Reckoning arrives.
RumiSearch, no matter what situation you are in. O thirsty one, search for water constantly. Finally, the time will come when you will reach the spring.
