"I said to the night, "If you are in love with the moon, it is because you never stay for long." The night turned to me and said, "It is not my fault… - Rumi

Be certain that in the religion of Love there are no believers and unbelievers. LOVE embraces all.

When I am with you, we stay up all night.
When you're not here, I can't go to sleep.

Praise God for these two insomnias!
And the difference between them.

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.

We are the mirror as well as the face in it.
We are tasting the taste this minute of eternity. We are pain
and what cures pain, both. We are
the sweet cold water and the jar that pours.

I want to hold you close like a lute,
so we can cry out with loving.

You would rather throw stones at a mirror?
I am your mirror, and here are the stones.

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