“God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites so that you will have two wings to fly, not one”
Rumi, The Essential Rumi

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah…it makes absolutely no difference what people think of you.”
Rumi

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
