Your love lifts my soul from the body to the sky.
And you lift me up out of the two worlds.
I want your sun to reach my raindrops.
So your heat can raise my soul upward like a cloud.
— Jalal ad-Din Rumi
For You, My Love
Open Your Eyes
You close your eyes when you cry. That’s ok. Just don’t keep them closed too long. Things have become beautiful since you last looked. There’s nothing more to cry about.
A Mighty Ocean
You are not just a drop in the ocean, you are the mighty ocean in a drop.
— Jalal ad-Din Rumi
Fail in Originality
It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.
— Herman Melville
Perfect
If people were meant to be perfect, there wouldn’t be erasers on pencils.
