No one knows what makes the soul wake up so happy! Maybe a dawn breeze has blown the veil from the face of God. – Rumi

All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that, and I intend to end up there. – Rumi

Be empty of worrying…. Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open? Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. – Rumi, as interpreted by Coleman Barks

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