I said: What about my eyes?
He said: Keep them on the road

I said: What about my passion?
He said: Keep it burning

I said: What about my heart?
He said: Tell me what you hold inside it?

I said: Pain and sorrow!
He said: Stay with it

The wound is the place where the light enters you

❤️

When you are going through a hard period,

When everything seems to oppose you,

When you feel you cannot even bear

One more minute, Never Give up!

Because it is the time and place

That the course will divert.

The morning wind spreads its fresh smell.

We must get up and take that in, that wind that let us live.

Breathe before it’s gone.

Embark the journey of love. It takes you from yourself to yourself.

The moment I heard my first love story I came looking for you, not realizing how blind that was.

Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere; they are each other all along.

Rumi

Moment of Happiness

A moment of happiness, you and I sitting on the veranda, apparently two, but one in soul, you and I.

We feel the flowing water of life here, you and I, with the garden’s beauty and the bird singing.

The star will be watching us, and we will show them what is to be a thin crescent moon.

Rumi

Of the rain at night no one is aware for every soul is asleep.

Yet the freshness of the rose garden in the morning is evidence of the rain that no one saw.

“Water says to the dirty, come here.
The dirty one says but I am so ashamed.
Water says how will you be made clean without me?”

Rumi

The Guest House 🏠

" This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
Some momentary moments comes
An unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are crowd of sorrows,
Who violently sweep your house
Empty of its furniture,
Still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out.
For some new delight.

The dark thought the shame, the malice.
Meet them at the door laughing,
And invite them in.

Be grateful for whatever comes.
Because each has been sent
As a guide from beyond.”

Rumi

There are many different ways to look at mirror:

The one who wants to see his face looks at the glass,

The one who wants to see his heart looks at the essence.

Rumi
