Jalal Al-Din Rumi

There is a voice that doesn't use words

There is a voice that doesn't use words. Listen.

If we have been pleased with life

If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master.

Let the beauty we love be what we do

Let the beauty we love be what we do.There are a hundred ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

Quote of the Day

The death of anyone close to us is always a form of salutation, a simultaneous good-bye to their physical presence and a deep hello to a more intimate imaginal relationship now beginning to form in their absence.
