I have come this time
to burn my thorns,
to purify my life,
to take up service again
in the garden.

I come weeping to these waters
to rise free of passion and belief.

Look at my face.
These tears are traces of you.

I will shorten this poem,
because the rest of it
is being said in the world
within your eyes.

​Do you know this silence?
It is not the same as in your room
when you have no one to talk to.​

​This is pure silence,
not the kind that happens
when living dogs are eating a dead one.
Rumi 

​Listen!
Clam up your mouth and be silent like an oyster shell,
for that tongue of yours is the enemy of the soul, my friend.
When the lips are silent, the heart has a hundred tongues.
Rumi

Silence is the language of God,
all else is poor translation.
― Rumi

​​Last night
    I begged the Wise One to tell me
    the secret of the world.
    Gently, gently, he whispered,
    "Be quiet,
    the secret cannot be spoken,
    It is wrapped in silence.
~ Rumi

Silence is an ocean.
Speech is a river.
When the ocean is searching for you,
don’t walk into the river.
Listen to the ocean.

Now be silent.
 Let the One who creates the words speak.
 He made the door.
 He made the lock.
 He also made the key."

You are the universe in ecstatic motion. 
Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love. 
There is a voice that doesn’t use words, listen. 
In silence there is eloquence.
 Stop weaving and see how the pattern improves. 
Let silence take you to the core of life.
Rumi
