Love is Ecstasy and Agony
Sunrise and Sunset
Sugar and Salt
Water and Earth
The Nothing in the Everything
The Everything in the Nothing
Love is the Source
The Source is Love
Those who don’t feel this Love pulling them like a river,
those who don’t drink dawn like a cup of spring water
or take in sunset like supper,
those who don’t want to change,
let them sleep.
This Love is beyond the study of theology,
that old trickery and hypocrisy.
If you want to improve your mind that way, sleep on.
I’ve given up on my brain,
I’ve torn the cloth to shreds and thrown it away.
If you’re not completely naked,
wrap your beautiful robe of words around, and sleep.
— Rumi
I have written letters of Love and I have delivered them to the Sun
so that he would keep them secretly in his light
Yet the curious Wind has stolen them and has guarded them in his heart
He waited for a red passionate sunset
to softly whisper those words of Love in the ears of a thousand Waves
I was there during that sunset
I heard his whispers …
While the Sun was sitting
made me a wink
I replied with a knowing glance!
