Where will you plant your grief-seeds? We need ground to scrape and hoe, not the sky of unspecified desire. – Rumi

There is a fountain inside you. Don’t walk around with an empty bucket. – Rumi

When your love contracts in anger, the atmosphere itself feels threatening. But when you’re expansive, no matter what the weather, you’re in an open, windy field with friends. – Rumi

If you want to be more alive, love is the truest health. – Rumi, as interpreted by Coleman Barks
