When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.

All quote cards for Jalaluddin Rumi
Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.
God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites so that you will have two wings to fly, not one
I am your moon and your moonlight tooI am your flower garden and your water tooI have come all this way, eager for youWithout shoes or shawlI want you to laughTo kill all your worriesTo love youTo nourish you.
Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.
The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was.
Don't you know Yet? It is your light that lights the World.
You are the Truth from foot to brow. Now, what else would you like to know?
My wails of sorroware tormenting my soul
I waitwith silent passionfor one gestureone glancefrom you
In the silence of loveyou will find the spark of life
You erased my famine, unpicked my angerYour energy charges my voice, it radiates my heart;Now I am alive with the ore of words pouringFrom my lips like molten lava glittering with joy.
I love my friendsneither with my heart nor with my mind. Just in case_Heart might stop. Mind can forget. I love them with my soul. Soul never stops or forgets.
My BelovedKnow that my beloved in hidden from everyoneKnow that she is beyond the belief of all beliefsKnow that in my heart she is as clear as the moonKnow that she is the life in my body and in my soul
Remember. The way you make love is the way God will be with you.
If metal can be polishedto a mirrorlike finish,what polishing might the mirrorof the heart require?Between the mirror and the heartis this single difference:the heart conceals secrets,while the mirror does not.
If Light Is In Your HeartYou Will Find Your Way Home.
I was dead, then alive.Weeping, then laughing.The power of love came into me,and I became fierce like a lion,then tender like the evening star.
