“Be melting snow.
Wash yourself of yourself.”
Rumi, The Essential Rumi

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“At night, I open the window
and ask the moon to come
and press its face against mine.
Breathe into me.
Close the language-door
and open the love-window.
The moon won't use the door,
only the window.”
