Yesterday was glory and joy. Today, a blackened burn everywhere. On the record of my life, these two days will be put down as one
RumiSince Love has made ruins of my heart The sun must come and illumine them. Such generosity has broken me with shame.
RumiNeither this body am I, nor soul, Nor these fleeting images passing by, Nor concepts and thoughts, mental images, Nor yet sentiments and the psyche's labyrinth. Who then am I? A consciousness without origin, Not born in time, nor begotten here below. I am that which was, is and ever shall be, A jewel in the crown of the Divine Self, A star in the firmament of the luminous One.
Rumi
