“I don't understand beauty.”
― Douglas Coupland, Eleanor Rigby

“You left ground and sky weeping,
mind and soul full of grief.

No one can take your place in existence,
or in absence. Both mourn, the angels, the prophets,
and this sadness I feel has taken from me
the taste of language, so that I cannot say
the flavor of my being apart.”
― Rumi, A Year with Rumi: Daily Readings

“This poetry. I never know what I'm going to say.
I don't plan it.
When I'm outside the saying of it,
I get very quiet and rarely speak at all.”
― Rumi, The Essential Rumi

“Be a helpful friend,
and you will become a green tree
with always new fruit,
always deeper journeys into love.”
― Rumi, Bridge to the Soul: Journeys Into the Music and Silence of the Heart
