Love asks us to enjoy our life
For nothing good can come of death.
Who is alive? I ask.
Those who are born of love.
Seek us in love itself,

Love asks us to enjoy our life For nothing good can come of death. Who is alive? I ask. Those who are born of love.
Seek us in love itself, Seek love in us ourselves. Sometimes I venerate love, Sometimes it venerates me.
Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi (جلالالدین محمد رومی) Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Balkhi (جلالالدین محمد بلخى) (30 September 1207 – 17 December 1273) was an Afghan philosopher, theologian, poet, teacher, and founder of the Mevlevi (or Mawlawi) order of Sufism; also known as Mevlana (Our Guide), Jalaluddin Rumi, or simply Rumi.
They fell to, on the ground. You’ve seen a baker rolling dough. He kneads it gently at first, then more roughly. He pounds it on the board. It softly groans under his palms.
Now he spreads it out and rolls it flat. Then he bunches it, and rolls it all the way out again,
thin. Now he adds water and mixes it well.
Now salt, and a little more salt. Now he shapes itdelicately to its final shape and slides itinto the oven, which is already hot. You remember breadmaking!
This is how your desire tangles with a desired one.
And it’s not justa metaphor for a man and a woman making love. Warriors in battle do this too.
A great mutual embrace is always happening between the eternal and what dies, between essence and accident.
