“Whenever we manage to love without expectations,
calculations, negotiations, we are indeed in heaven.”
― Rumi

“This mirror inside me shows.
I can’t say what, but I can’t not know.
I run from body. I run from spirit.
I do not belong anywhere.”
― Rumi

“I am smiling at myself today
There's no wish left in this heart
Or perhaps there is no heart left
Free from all desire
I sit quietly like Earth
My silent cry echoes like thunder
Throughout the universe
I am not worried about it
I know it will be heard by no one
Except me.”
― Rumi

“Beyond our ideas of right-doing and wrong-doing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase ‘each other’
doesn’t make sense any more.”
― Coleman Barks
