Rumi: I open and fill with love and what is not love evaporates.

Rumi: Listen to the unstruck sound, and what sifts through that music.

Rumi: This is how most people live: sleeping on the bank of a fresh-water stream, lips dry with thirst.

Rumi: What matters most is how 'quickly' you do what your soul directs.

Rumi Speaks: September 4, 2011

Be a pearl without a shell, a mindful flooding, candle turned moth,
head become empty jar, bird settling nest, love lived.

Rumi: The streak lightning of our minds comes so we'll weep, longing for our real lives.

"The real way opens only with love.
When that waking comes, we finally understand our dreams."

Rumi: We've given up making a living. It's all this crazy love poetry now.

Rumi: For forty years I have made plans and worried about them. Now sixty-two, I've escaped reasonableness.

Rumi: I want to sing like birds sing, not worrying who hears, or what they think.
