Bijan

“You have been walking the ocean's edge,
holding up your robes to keep them dry.

You must dive naked under and deeper under,
a thousand times deeper. Love flows down.

The ground submits to the sky and suffers what comes.
Tell me, is the earth worse for giving in like that?

Do not put blankets over the drum.
Open completely.”
― Rumi, The Big Red Book

“Whenever we manage to love without expectations,
calculations, negotiations, we are indeed in heaven.”
― Rumi

“You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.”
― Rumi

“Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion, bewilderment is intuition.”
― Rumi
