Love Is, Deep Love, Radiance

Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi, “O Love”

From "Wetness and Water" How does a part of the world leave the world? How can wetness leave water? Do not try to put out a fire by throwing on more fire. Do not wash a wound with blood.

Darkness is your candle. Your boundaries are your quest.

Running, Hurt, Fire

Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi, “Shadow And Light Source Both”

Don’t knock on any random door like a beggar. Reach your long hand out to another door, beyond where you go on the street, the street where everyone says, "How are you?" and no one says How aren’t you?
