There’s a hidden sweetness in the stomach’s emptiness. We are lutes, no more, no less. If the soundbox is stuffed full of anything, no music…. When you’re full of food and drink, Satan sits where your spirit should…. – Rumi

Don’t turn away. Keep your gaze on the bandaged place. That’s where the light enters you. – Rumi

If all you can do is crawl, start crawling. – Rumi

The core of the seen and unseen universe smiles, but remember smiles come best from those who weep. Lightning, then the rain-laughter. – Rumi
