“There are
So many positions of
Love:

Each curve on a branch,

The thousand different ways
Your eyes can embrace us,

The infinite shapes your
Mind can draw,

The spring
Orchestra of scents,

The currents of light combusting
Like passionate lips,

The revolution of Existence's skirt
Whose folds contain other worlds.

Your every sigh that falls against
His inconceivable
Omnipresent
Body.”
― شمس الدین محمد حافظ / Khwāja Šams ud-Dīn Muhammad Hāfez-e Šīrāzī, The Gift

“Your pain is a school unto itself–– and your joy a lovely temple.”
― Aberjhani, The River of Winged Dreams

“Birds make great sky-circles of their freedom.
How do they learn it?
They fall and falling,
they're given wings.”
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi

“Not only the thirsty seek the water, the water as well seeks the thirsty.”
