The Love of Your Life ~Rumi

Dont grieve. Anything you lose comes aroung in another form.
Friends are enimies sometimes, and enemies frineds.
I was a tiny big. Now a mountain. I was left behind. Now honored at the head.
You healed my wound, hunger, and anger, and made me a poet who sings about joy.
If your guidance is your ego, don't rely on luck for help. You sleep during the day and the nights are short. But he time you wake up you life may be over.
Let the beuuty we love be what we do.
Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy, absent-minded. Someone sober will wory about events going badly.
Let the lover be.
Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love.
Most people gaurd against going into the fire, and so end in it.
My friend, the sufi is the friend of the present moment. To say tomorrow is not our way.
Nightingales are put in cages becasue their songs give pleasure. Whoever heard of keeping a crow?
No longer a stranger, you listen all day to these crazy love words. Like a bee you fill hundreds of homes with honey, though yours is a long flight from here. No mirror ever becomes iron again; No bread ever became wheat; No ripened grape became sour fruit. Mature yourself and be secure from chande for the worse. Become the light. Only from the heart. Can you touch the sky.
Patience is the key to joy.
People of the word don't look at themselves, and so they blame one another.
Sence in order to speak, one must first listen, learn to speak by listening.
The intelligent want self-control; children want candy.
The middle path is the way to wisdom.
The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart.
Thirst drove me down to the water where I drank the moon's reflection.
To praise hoe one surrenders to the wmptiness.
We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.
We rarely heat the inward music, but we're all dancing to it nevertheless.
You think the shadow is the substance.
