THIS TORTURE Why should we tell you our love stories when you spill them together like blood in the dirt? Love is a pearl lost on the ocean floor, or a fire we canโt see, but how does saying that push us through the top of the head into the light above the head? Love is not an iron pot, so this boiling energy wonโt help. Soul, heart, self. Beyond and within those is one saying, How long before Iโm free of this torture!
RumiWhenever we manage to love without expectations, calculations, negotiations, we are indeed in heaven.
RumiIt is as if a king had sent you to a country to carry out one special, specific task. You go to the country and you perform a hundred other tasks, but if you have not performed the task you were sent for, it is as if you have done nothing at all. So people have come into the world for particular tasks, and that is our purpose. If we don't perform it, we will have done nothing.
Rumi
