This
that we are now
created the body, cell by cell,
like bees building a honeycomb. The human body and the universe
grew from this, not this
from the universe and the human body.

Are you fleeing from Love because of a single humiliation?
What do you know of Love except the name?
Love has a hundred forms of pride and disdain,
and is gained by a hundred means of persuasion.
Since Love is loyal, it purchases one who is loyal:
it has no interest in a disloyal companion.
The human being resembles a tree; its root is a covenant with God:
that root must be cherished with all one's might.

Gamble everything for love,
if you are a true human being.

Learn the alchemy true human beings know. The moment you accept what troubles you've been given the door with open.

Don't look for me in a human shape,
I am inside your looking.

Rumi
What is the heart? It is not human and it is not imaginary. I call it you.

Rumi
