“Are you jealous of the ocean’s generosity?
Why would you refuse to give
this joy to anyone?

Fish don’t hold the sacred liquid in cups!
They swim the huge fluid freedom.”
Rumi, The Essential Rumi

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“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”

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“You're water. We're the millstone.
You're wind. We're dust blown up into shapes.
You're spirit. We're the opening and closing
of our hands. You're the clarity.
We're the language that tries to say it.
You're joy. We're all the different kinds of laughing.”
Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, The Essential Rumi
