Today, like every other day, we wake up empty and frightened…. Let the beauty we love be what we do. – Rumi, as interpreted by Coleman Barks

All religions, all this singing, one song. The differences are just illusion and vanity. The sun’s light looks a little different on this wall than it does on that wall, and a lot different on this other one, but it’s still one light. – Rumi

I want your sun to reach my raindrops, so your heat can raise my soul upward like a cloud. – Rumi

The wound is the place where the Light enters you. – Rumi

If you are irritated by every rub, how will you be polished? – Rumi
