“Lo, I am with you always means when you look for God,
God is in the look of your eyes,
in the thought of looking, nearer to you than your self,
or things that have happened to you

Wash yourself of yourself. A white flower grows in the quietness.
Let your tongue become that flower.”
― Rumi, The Essential Rumi
