Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”
Rumi

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“I want to see you.

Know your voice.

Recognize you when you
first come 'round the corner.

Sense your scent when I come
into a room you've just left.

Know the lift of your heel,
the glide of your foot.

Become familiar with the way
you purse your lips
then let them part,
just the slightest bit,
when I lean in to your space
and kiss you.

I want to know the joy
of how you whisper
"more”
Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“WHEN YOU ARE FREED FROM THIS BODY
YOU WILL ENTER INTO A NEW WORLD
WITHOUT ANY EFFORT.”
Rumi
