“Wisdom is like the rain.
It's supply is unlimited, but it comes down according to what the occasion requires -
in winter and spring, in summer and autumn,
always in due measure, more or less,
but the source of that rain is the oceans itself, which has no limits.”
― Rumi, It Is What It Is: The Personal Discourses of Rumi

“Death has nothing to do with going away.
The sun sets.
The moon sets.
But they are not gone.
~Rumi”
