 Let us continue to celebrate 800+ years of Rumi as we enter another amazing year! May the beauty We love, be what We do for Love is who/what WE are in 2008 & always… Below are some of my favorite quotes, poems, images & cards from, about & with Rumi. Feel free & invited to share your Joy & Love for Rumi in any way, form & time… Why Are You So Reasonable? You are our soul. You have the face of an angel. You have given up all thoughts. The One who gets lost in thought is looking for a cure for his illness, but thoughts themselves are the cause of his illness. Thinking causes confusion. Don't be a man of thought. Stay pure and clean. Become a man of joy and ecstasy instead…  Soul Here For Its Own Joy ~Rumi A wonderful short flash Rumi movie - http://www.byregion.net/rumi/ And another Rumi poem “Say I am You” transformed in an exquisite short video…  “Glorious Bird of Paradise” poem video ”Come My Sweetheart” poem video Edward Munch images Rumi cards from BrushDance.com http://brushdance.stores.yahoo.net/newrucaarmam.html For more amazing Rumi cards visit http://www.amberlotus.com/ilrubgrca12i.html CUT IT SHORT
You are wrapped up in the self from head to tail. What are you looking for in yourself? You're like water in the jug, encased in earthenware. Embark on a journey of Love. It takes you from yourself to Yourself. And cut the story short, my friend. ~ “The Forbidden Rumi”  |

I LOVE Rumi!!!!!! Rumi and Rainer Maria Rilke (my three r's) are my most powerful influences! Rumi to me is such a beautiful and enchanted combination of enlightenment, passion, love, harmony, yearning of the soul and body. |

Carolyn Quan ~ Eternal Rose Untitled There's courage involved if you want to become truth There is a broken open place in a lover Where are those qualities of bravery and sharp compassion in this group What's the use of old and frozen thought I want a howling hurt This is not a treasury where gold is stored This is for copper We alchemists look for talent that can heat up and change Luke warm won't do Half-hearted holding back Well enough getting by Not here - Rumi The Guest House This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meaness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they are a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice. meet them at the door laughing and invite them in. Be grateful for whatever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. - Rumi Breathing There is a way of breathing That's a shame and a suffocation And there's another way of expiring, A love breath, That lets you open infinitely. - Rumi Reposted from Empowered by Poetry . |
