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

I have lived on the lip of insanity, wanting to know reasons, knocking on a door. It opens. I’ve been knocking from the inside! – Rumi

Don’t knock on any random door like a beggar. Reach your long hand out to another door, beyond where you go on the street, the street where everyone says, “How are you?” and no one says How aren’t you? – Rumi

…my heart sinks like a comb into wave after wave of your silky hair. – Rumi
