NO BETTER GIFT
When the ocean comes to you as a lover,
marry, at once, quickly, for God’s sake!
Don’t postpone it!

Existence has no better gift.
No amount of searching will find this.

A perfect falcon, for no reason,
has landed on your shoulder,
​and become yours.
Rumi

Why are you so afraid of silence?
Silence is the root of everything.
If you spiral into its void,​
​ a hundred voices will thunder messages you long to hear..
Rumi

When a madman smiles at you -
​Rumi

Galen, the great physician, asked one of his assistants
to give him a certain medicine.

​"Master, that medicine is for crazy people!
You're far from needing that!"

Galen: Yesterday a madman turned and smiled at me,
did his eyebrows up and down, and touched my sleeve.
He wouldn't have done that if he hadn't recognized
in me someone congenial."

Anyone that feels drawn,
for however short a time, to anyone else,
those two share a common consciousness.
Rumi

Sometimes you hear a voice through the door calling you,
as fish out of water hear the waves,
or a hunting falcon
hears the drum's
​Come back.
Come back.
Rumi

Spirit’s moon in a wide-open sky.
I’ve beat this drum of Love for so long,
for you whom I adore, singing:
“My life depends upon my dying”
This keeps my body and soul alive.
I dream but I do not sleep.
Rumi

Our spirits know truth
and know each other.

AFTERNOON

We would rather be ruined than changed.
We would rather die in our dread
Than climb the cross of the present
And let our illusions die.

If you want the truth,
I’ll tell you the truth:
Listen to the secret sound,
the real sound,
​ which is inside you..
Kabir

Expectation is the grandfather of disappointment.
The world can never own a man who wants nothing.
