    “I'd learned enough from life's experiences to understand that destiny's interventions can sometimes be read as invitation for us to address and even surmount our biggest fears. It doesn't take a great genius to recognize that when you are pushed by circumstance to do the one thing you have always most specifically loathed and feared, this can be, at the very least, an interesting growth opportunity.”

    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “An eye is meant to see things.
    The soul is here for its own joy.

    A head has one use: For loving a true love.
    Feet: To chase after.

    Love is for vanishing into the sky. The mind,
    for learning what men have done and tried to do.

    Mysteries are not to be solved: The eye goes blind
    when it only wants to see why.

    A lover is always accused of something.
    But when he finds his love, whatever was lost
    in the looking comes back completely changed.”
    ― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, Night and Sleep

    “At night, I open the window
    and ask the moon to come
    and press its face against mine.
    Breathe into me.
    Close the language-door
    and open the love-window.
    The moon won't use the door,
    only the window.”
