“I say hello
to you, because you are in my heart,

You are away from my sight, yet are in my heart,

You, though you don't show yourself, live in my heart,

Hello, to the one that is unseen yet not apart.”

 ~ Rumi

And that would be how I feel about my Bone Sigh buddies.

"All the precious words you and I have exchanged have found their way into the heart of the Universe.

One day, they'll pour on us like whispering rain. Helping us arise from our roots again."   ~ Rumi

"There is a sun within every person, the You we call Companion." ~ Rumi

There is a way between voice and presence

where information flows.

In disciplined silence it opens.

With wandering talk it closes. ~ Rumi

You will become a window for every house.
You will be a rose garden for every field.
If you leave your self, drop your existence
you will become me without me.~Rumi♥

Let these words fly through time to someone coming...
you know who you are..
This Love has nibbled on your ear
whispering secrets that dont make sense to anyone else. ~ Rumi

You are every image, and yet I am homesick for you. ~ Rumi 

                              Missing May May......

Last night, in private, I
asked the wise old man

To reveal to me the secret of the world.

Softly he whispered, Hush!, in my ear:

It's something you learn, not words you can hear. ~ Rumi

         I have come to drag
you out of yourself,

                    and take you in my heart.

              I have come to bring out the beauty

                     you never knew you had

         and lift you like a prayer to the sky! ~ Rumi

There is a way between voice and presence

where information flows.

In disciplined silence it opens.

With wandering talk it closes. ~ Rumi

For Shelly..... and For Terri and her Dad.....

You are ‘there’,  I
‘here’. Worlds separate us,

Death’s angels, the void of space…

Yet I say your name, and waves of Light

"Wash to me silently from your Heart.”

~Rumi

"Make peace with the Universe. Take joy in it. It will turn to
gold. Resurrection will be now. Every moment a new beauty." ~ Rumi

Do they make me swoon?    Oh Lisa...... does the sun bring light and warmth to the earth? yeah....they kinda do make me full. And why didn't you leave yours while here? The one of right ideas and wrong ideas.... the field.... the world being too full to talk about.... you know the one?

You are the moon of the sky and we are like the dark night and when there is no moon at night full darkness prevails. ~ Rumi

The green in my tree is You. The beauty of every garden is You. My wealth, my work, my Master, is You. There is no reality except You. ~ Rumi

Yeah.... That one! I LOve that one. Thank you Ms Sunflower Woman. I have missed you too....really miss all you guys that use to hang here and hold here. We've got road trips to be getting ready for and I always say the more the merrier.  We do lots of sharing and goofing and healing on our trips, even when every body abandond us and it's just me and Ter sitting on the bank of a river waiting for bus parts and talking to the moon and stars. We got lots of yummy snacks too! Like Ter's granola  and PB&js and Akasa's fudge and cakes. You really should join us. We'd even let you pick where we go.

I have a Quote, but it's not a rumi quote..

maybe I shouldn't pt it here..

If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.

Rabindranath Tagore

God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches you by means of opposites, so that you will have two wings to fly - not one.

- Rumi

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for stilling of my pain but for the heart to conquer it.

let me not look for allies in life's battlefields but to my own strength.

Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved but hope for the patience to win my freedom.

grant me that I may not be a coward, feeling your mercy in my success alone; but let me find the grasp of your hand in my failure.

Rabindranathe Tagore

Open the Love window. The moon won't use the door; only the Love window.  ~ Rumi

  Look...... I have brought you a heart.    ~ Rumi

"Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love."
Kahlil Gibran

Love depends not on form or face.     ~ Rumi

Everything, except LOVE of the Most Beautiful is really agony. It's agony to move towards death and not drink the water of Life. ~ Rumi

Each moment is a chance for us to make peace with the world, to make peace possible for the world, to make happiness possible for the world. Thich Nhat Hanh

Every thirst gets satisfied except that of these fish, the mystics,

who swim a vast ocean of grace still somehow longing for it!

~Rumi

I'm trying to figure out how to comment on the older posts...but copying it seemed to be the only way.  Anyway....I love love love Rumi...Rilke is often similar, check out this site www.rilkeaday.blogspot.com.  I love the pic with this quote....who's the artist?  So needed the Rumi tonight...thanks for this discussion!!!

Hey UniSherry..... I'll give you 3 guesses as to who else Loves Rumi. Or I could make it harder and see if you can guess who doesn't. I have no idea who the artist is, but if I can find out, I'll let you know. I'm going go check out the site you mentioned above.

Once you have met a True Human Being,
Let him not disappear from the horizon of your Heart.~Rumi♥

Those who practice LOVE have neither religion nor status. 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.

I want to become familiar with the way you purse your lips,

then let them part 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

This world is in deep trouble, from top to bottom,
But it can be swiftly healed by the balm of LOVE."
~Rumi

Someday our souls will be one

And our union will be forever.

I know that everything I give you

Comes back to me.

So I give you my life,

Hoping that You

Will come back to me.~Rumi
