Rainer Maria Rilke

Rainer Maria Rilke
“You are not too old
and it is not too late
to dive into your increasing depths
where life calmly gives out
its own secret.”
Rilke

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.”
Rumi

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
