For only when faithfulness turns to betrayal And betrayal into trust Can any human being become part of the truth.
RumiEach moment from all sides rushes to us the call to love. We are running to contemplate its vast green field. Do you want to come with us?
RumiWithout 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.
Rumi
