“Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.”

-Rumi

In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems.

~Rumi

All day I think about it, then at night I say it.
Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing?
I have no idea

-Rumi

“When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them.”

if you come, I’ll sit up and sing.”

How much it can fill your room depends on its windows.”

“Anyone who knows me, should learn to know me again;
For I am like the Moon,
you will see me with new face everyday.”

I closed my mouth and spoke to you in a hundred silent ways.

-Rumi

"I will whisper secrets in your ear
just nod yes and be silent.
A soul moon
appeared in the path of my heart.
How precious is this journey."

Rumi

"This is how I would die into the love I have for you:
As pieces of cloud dissolve in sunlight."

Rumi
