Live...

"FORGET SAFETY. 
LIVE WHERE YOU FEAR TO LIVE.
 DESTROY YOUR REPUTATION. 
BE NOTORIOUS.


I HAVE TRIED PRUDENT PLANNING 
LONG ENOUGH.
 FROM NOW ON, I’LL BE MAD.
"

~   Rumi

There is...

"There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled.

There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled.

You feel it, don’t you?" 

― Rumi

♥

"I want to see you.

Know your voice.

Recognize you when you

first come ‘round the corner.

Sense your scent when I come 

into a room you’ve just left.

Know the lift of your heel,

the glide of your foot.

Become familiar with the way 

you purse your lips

then let them part, 

just the slightest bit,

when I lean in to your space

and kiss you.

I want to know the joy 

of how you whisper 

"more". 

― Rumi

Love story...

"The minute I heard my first love story, 

I started looking for you, not knowing

how blind that was.

Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere.

They’re in each other all along."

― Rumi, The Illuminated Rumi

Study me as much as you like...

Study me as much as you like, you will never know me, for I differ a hundred ways from what you see me to be.

Put yourself behind my eyes, and see me as I see myself, for I have chosen to dwell in a place you cannot see.

— Rumi

beyond ideas...

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing 

and rightdoing there is a field.

I’ll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass

the world is too full to talk about.”

— Rumi

and spoke to you...

i closed my mouth and spoke to you in a hundred silent ways...
