“This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor...Welcome and entertain them all. Treat each guest honorably. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.”
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi

“Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.”
― Rumi

“A new moon teaches gradualness

“I firmly believe that we are all given signs and dreams and put in situations that define who we were and who we are to become. All of it points towards our destiny.

― Isaiah Washington, A Man from Another Land: How Finding My Roots Changed My Life

“في أذني اليمنى صوت الاذان يرتفع،في اذني اليسرى قرع اجراس الكنيسة.في انفي رائحة بخور المعابد البوذية تستقر،انصرفت عن الاصوات والرائحة،والتفتُّ الى نبضات قلبي المطمئنة،فعرفت ان الله..هنا”
― سعود السنعوسي, ساق البامبو
