Many of the faults you see in others, dear reader, are your own nature reflected in them. - Rumi

Gamble everything for love, if you are a true human being. If not, leave this gathering. Half-heartedness doesn’t reach into majesty.

You are sitting here with us,
but you are also out walking in a field at dawn.

You are yourself the animal we hunt
when you come with us on the hunt.

You are in your body
like a plant is solid in the ground,
yet you are wind.

You are the diver's clothes
lying empty on the beach.
You are the fish.

In the ocean are many bright strands
and many dark strands like veins that are seen
when a wing is lifted up.

Your hidden self is blood in those,
those veins that are lute strings
that make ocean music,
not the sad edge of surf,
but the sound of no shore.

هناك شمعة في قلبك .. تنتظر أن تضاء
هناك فراغ في روحك .. ينتظر أن يملأ
إنك تشعر بهذا ، أليس كذلك ؟!
