“I love my friends
neither 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.”
― Rumi

“A moment of happiness,
you and I sitting on the verandah,
apparently two, but one in soul, you and I.
We feel the flowing water of life here,
you and I, with the garden's beauty
and the birds singing.
The stars will be watching us,
and we will show them
what it is to be a thin crescent moon.
You and I unselfed, will be together,
indifferent to idle speculation, you and I.
The parrots of heaven will be cracking sugar
as we laugh together, you and I.
In one form upon this earth,
and in another form in a timeless sweet land.”
― Rumi

“In the silence of love
you will find the spark of life”
― Rumi, The Love Poems of Rumi

“You are my wine, my joy,
My garden, my springtime,
My slumber, my repose,
Without you, I can't cope.”
― Rumi, Love: The Joy That Wounds: The Love Poems of Rumi
