“ Water and clay, when fed on the breath of Jesus,”
spread wings, became a bird and flew.
Your praise of God is a breath
from your body of water and clay.
Make it a bird of paradise
by breathing into it your heart’s sincerity.
Rumi (Mathnawi I, 866-867)
“ Union is a raging river running toward the sea. Tonight the moon kisses the stars. O beloved, be like that to me.”
Rumi (via redblackbeerback)
“ Come, come, whoever you are.”
Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving — it doesn’t matter,
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vows a hundred times,
Come, and come yet again, come.

This Love is a King
But his banner is hidden.
The Koran speaks the Truth
But its miracle is concealed.
Love has pierced with its arrow
The heart of every lover.
Blood flows but the wound is invisible.
“ I am ashamed”
to call this love human
and afraid of God
to call it divine

“ Let go of your worries”
and be completely clear-hearted,
like the face of a mirror
that contains no images.
If you want a clear mirror,
behold yourself
and see the shameless truth,
which the mirror reflects.
If metal can be polished
to a mirror-like finish,
what polishing might the mirror
of the heart require?
Between the mirror and the heart
is this single difference:
the heart conceals secrets,
while the mirror does not.
Rumi (via newfilosofee) (via quelowat)
