Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I will meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about
language, ideas, even the phrase each other
doesn't make any sense.

Rumi

This heart sanctuary does
exist, but it can't be described. Why try! Solomon goes there every morning and gives guidance
with words, with musical harmonies, and in actions,
which are the deepest teaching. A prince is just
a conceit until he does something with generosity.

Rumi

Do not grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.

Rumi

Quit acting like a wolf, and feel
the shepherd's love filling you.

Rumi

God's joy moved from unmarked box to unmarked box,
from cell to cell.

Rumi
