Opening 20 12/11/2011
Only the soul knows what love is. This moment in time and space is an eggshell with an embryo crumpled inside, soaked in spirit yolk, under the wing of grace, until it breaks free of mind to become the song of birds and their breathing. Rumi

Tender words we spoke to one another are sealed in the secret vaults of heaven. One day like rain, they will fall to earth and grow green all over the world. Rumi  Opening 12 22/01/2011
Come! Take a pickaxe and break apart your stony self. The heart’s matrix is glutted with rubies. Springs of laughter are buried in your breast. Unstop the wine jar Batter down the door to the treasury of nonexistence. The water in your jug is brackish and low. Smash the jug and come to the river! Rumi  Opening 10 14/11/2010
A spirit that lives in this world and does not wear the shirt of love, such an existence is a deep disgrace. Be foolishly in love, because love is all there is. There is no way into presence except through a love exchange. If someone asks, But what is love? answer, Dissolving the will. Rumi  Opening 9 23/10/2010
If you would say I don't exist, I would be grateful. When this longing makes me disreputable,, then I have a little self-respect. A vine begins to become wine when you say, Pressure is necessary to burst open. Rumi  Opening 8 28/08/2010
You have said what you are. I am what I am. Your actions in my head, my head here in my hands with something circling inside. I have no name for what circles so perfectly. Rumi  Flow 3 26/06/2010
The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along. Rumi  Eye of the needle 2 11/06/2010
How does a part of the world leave the world? How can wetness leave water? Don't try to put out a fire by throwing on more fire! Don't wash a wound with blood! No matter how fast you run, your shadow keeps up. Sometimes it's in front! Only full overhead sun diminishes your shadow. But that shadow has been serving you! what hurts you, blesses you. Darkness is your candle. Your boundaries are your quest. Rumi  Opening 7 28/05/2010
I saw you and became empty. This emptiness, more beautiful than existence, it obliterates existence, and yet when it comes, existence thrives and creates more existence! The sky is blue. The world is a blind man squatting on the road. But whoever sees your emptiness sees beyond blue and beyond the blind man. Rumi  Opening 6 27/03/2010
God picks ups the reed-flute world and blows. Each note is a need coming through one of us, a passion, a longing-pain. Remember the lips where the wind-breath originated, and let your note be clear. Don't try to end it. Be your note. I'll show you how it's enough. Rumi  | Fractal news
