Additional quotes by Rumi

Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don’t claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent.

For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself.
From within, I couldn't decide what to do.
Unable to see, I heard my name being called.

If the foot of the trees were not tied to earth, they would be pursuing me.. For I have blossomed so much, I am the envy of the gardens. - Rumi
