"You left and I cried tears of..." - Quote by Rumi

“Would you become a pilgrim on the road of love? The first condition is that you make yourself humble as dust and ashes.”

“On this path let the heart be your guide.”

“Your name is upon my tongue your image is in my sight your memory is in my heart where can I send these words that I write ?”

“O madam, my old heart is cracked, it's cracked!”

“My own mother died when I was 10 years old. My folks have told me that what little humor I have comes from her. I can't remember her humor, but I can remember her love and understanding of me.”

“Our friend and we were invited aboard on a party of pleasure, which is to last forever. His chair was ready first, and he has gone before us. We could not all conveniently start together; and why should you and I be grieved at this, since we are soon to follow, and know where to find him.”

“For in grief nothing 'stays put.' One keeps on emerging from a phase, but it always recurs. Round and round.Everything repeats. Am I going in circles, or dare I hope I am on a spiral?”

“By then I knew that everything good and bad left an emptiness when it stopped. But if it was bad, the emptiness filled up by itself. If it was good you could only fill it by finding something better.”

“Sometimes people need to experience great loss to really be driven deeper.”
