Inspired words from the great Rumi…
Jalāl ad-Dīn Muḥammad Balkhī, جلالالدین محمد بلخى

+++

Love is the Water of Life.

+++

I am your moon and your moonlight too
I am your flower garden and your water too
I have come all this way, eager for you
Without shoes or shawl
I want you to laugh
To kill all your worries
To love you
To nourish you.

+++

Speak a new language
so that the world
will be a new world.

+++

You were born with wings.
Why prefer to crawl through life?

+++

Every object, every being,
is a jar full of delight.

+++

The way you make love
is the way God will be with you.

+++

Only from the heart
Can you touch the sky.

+++

The moon has become a dancer
at this festival of love.

+++

They will ask you
what you have produced.
Say to them,
except for Love,
what else can a Lover produce?

+++

I am bewildered by the magnificence of your beauty and wish
to see you with a hundred eyes.

+++

Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river.

+++

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.

+++

I was you
and never knew it.
