Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi

“Fear

Everyone can see how they have polished the mirror
of the self, which is done with the longings
we're given.

Not everyone wants to be king!

There are different roles and many choices
within each.

Troubles come. One person packs up
and leaves. Another stays and deepens in a love
for being human.

In battle, one runs fearing
for his life. Another, just as scared, turns
and fights more fiercely.”

Rumi, The Book of Love: Poems of Ecstasy and Longing
