I just discovered this thread.

Thank you.

' Hearken to the reed-flute, how it complains,
Lamenting its banishment from its home:--

"Ever since they tore me from my osier bed,
My plaintive notes have moved men and women to tears.

I burst my breast, striving to give vent to sighs,
And to express the pangs of my yearnings for my home.'

~ Rumi

This is my favorite thread. :hug:

Rumi's inner kinkiness

'Indeed, Shams-i Tabrizi is but a pretext - it is I
who display the beauty of God's Gentleness, I!'

~ Rumi

Brilliant, thanks :wav:

'In the house of lovers the music never stops.
The walls are made of songs and the floor dances.'

~ Rumi

'Weeping, then laughing
The power of love came into me
and I became fierce like a lion,
then tender like the evening star'

~ Rumi

'You are not a drop in the ocean.
You are the entire ocean in a drop.'

~ Rumi

'Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.'

~ Rumi

'Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.'

~ Rumi

'Silence is the language of God,
All else is poor translation.'

~ Rumi

"Love is the ark appointed for the righteous,
Which annuls the danger and provides a way of escape."

~ Rumi

"Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his heart, and that depends upon how much he has polished it.
Whoever has polished it more sees more — more unseen forms become manifest to him."

~ Rumi

Wow...thank you.

'Stop acting so small.
You are the universe in ecstatic motion.'

~ Rumi

'I am the dust in the sunlight.
I am the ball of the sun.
I am the mist of morning,
the breath of evening.
I am the spark in the stone,
the gleam of gold in the metal,
the rose and the nightingale
drunk with its fragrance.
I am the chain of being,
the circle of the spheres,
the scale of creation,
the rise and the fall.
I am what is and is not.
I am the soul in all.'

~ Rumi

“Drum sound rises on the air, its throb, my heart.

A voice inside the beat says, "I know you're tired, but come. This is the way.”

― Rumi

'Wear gratitude like a cloak
and it will feed every corner of your life.'

~ Rumi
