This is the way

I know you’re tired,
but come. This is the way.

~Rumi

Ask

Everything in the universe is
within you.
Ask all from yourself.

~Rumi, (1207 – 1273)

Listen

There is a voice
that doesn’t use words.
Listen.

~Rumi

look past your thoughts

Look past your thoughts
so that you may drink the pure nectar
of this moment.

~Rumi

But listen

But listen to me. For one moment
quit being sad. Hear blessings
dropping their blossoms
around you.

~Rumi

Only from the heart

Only from the heart can you touch the sky.

~Rumi

I want to sing like the birds sing

I want to sing like the birds sing,
not worrying about who hears
or what they think.

~Rumi
