There is some kiss we want with your whole lives, the touch of spirit on the body. Seawater begs the pearl to break its shell. And the lily, how passionately it needs some wild darling.
RumiYou think you are alive because you breathe air? Shame on you, that you are alive in such a limited way. Don't be without Love, so you won't feel dead. Die in Love and stay alive forever.
RumiLimp along until your legs are spent, and you fall flat and your energy is drained. Then the grace of the Divine will lift you.
Rumi
