Put your thoughts to sleep, do not let them cast a shadow over the moon of your heart. Let go of thinking. – Rumi

At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language-door and open the love-window. The moon won’t use the door, only the window. – Rumi

Inside of us, there’s a continual autumn. Our leaves fall and are blown out over the water. – Rumi

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