Stay awake

"Love has come to rule and transform; Stay Awake, my heart, stay awake."

- Rumi

Together

"Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along."

- Rumi

No strings attached

According to a poet: 'The warrior of light chooses his enemies.' He knows what he is capable of; he does not have to go about the world boasting of his qualities and virtues. Nevertheless, there is always someone who wants to prove himself better than he is.


For the warrior, there is no 'better' or 'worse': everyone has the necessary gifts for his particular path. But certain people insist. They provoke and offend and do everything they can to irritate him. At that point, his heart says: 'Do not respond to these insults, they will not increase your abilities. You will tire yourself needlessly.'

A warrior of light does not waste his time listening to provocations; he has a destiny to fulfil.
 
(Paulo Coleho - 'The warrior of Light manual')

Love

Love is from the infinite,
and will remain until eternity.

- Rumi

If you come

At the end of my life, with just one breath left,
if you come, I’ll sit up and sing.

- Rumi

Changing from inside up

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.

- Rumi

Enslaved

I am the slave of that perfect Moon!
Don't talk to me of suffering, I don't want to hear.
Talk about light, joy and sweetness
and if you can't, keep silent!


- Rumi
