Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Pain is a treasure, for it contains mercies.”
Rumi, مثنوی معنوی
tags: pain

Eduardo Galeano
“Each person shines with his or her own light. No two flames are alike. There are big flames and little flames, flames of every color. Some people’s flames are so still they don’t even flicker in the wind, while others have wild flames that fill the air with sparks. Some foolish flames neither burn nor shed light, but others blaze with life so fiercely that you can’t look at them without blinking, and if you approach you shine in the fire.”
Eduardo Galeano

Yehuda HaLevi
“Tis a Fearful Thing

‘Tis a fearful thing
to love what death can touch.

A fearful thing
to love, to hope, to dream, to be –

to be,
And oh, to lose.

A thing for fools, this,

And a holy thing,

a holy thing
to love.

For your life has lived in me,
your laugh once lifted me,
your word was gift to me.

To remember this brings painful joy.

‘Tis a human thing, love,
a holy thing, to love
what death has touched.”
Judah Halevi

“Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere.
They’re in each other all the time. – Rumi”
Nancy Mellon, Healing Storytelling: The Art of Imagination and Storymaking for Personal Growth

“Grief offers a wild alchemy that transmutes suffering into fertile ground.”
Francis Weller, The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief
