Hear this if you can: If you want to reach him You have to go beyond yourself And when you finally arrive at the land of absence Be silent Donโt say a thing Ecstasy, not words, is the language spoken there
RumiTHIS 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!
RumiThe ocean of the body crashes against the ocean of the heart. Between them is a barrier they cannot cross.
Rumi
