Keep knocking, and the joy inside will eventually open a window and look out to see who’s there. – Rumi

In each moment the fire rages, it will burn away a hundred veils. And carry you a thousand steps toward your goal. – Rumi

You are a fountain of the sun’s light. I am a willow shadow on the ground. You make my raggedness silky. – Rumi

In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest, where no one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that light becomes this art. – Rumi, as interpreted by Coleman Barks
