“God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites so that you will have two wings to fly, not one”
― Rumi, The Essential Rumi

“Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. Live in silence.”
― Rumi

“I choose to love you in silence…
For in silence I find no rejection,

I choose to love you in loneliness…
For in loneliness no one owns you but me,

I choose to adore you from a distance…
For distance will shield me from pain,

I choose to kiss you in the wind…
For the wind is gentler than my lips,

I choose to hold you in my dreams…
For in my dreams, you have no end.”
― Rumi

“There are lovers content with longing.
I’m not one of them.”
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi
