"I closed my mouth and spoke to..." - Quote by Rumi

“If Light Is In Your Heart You Will Find Your Way Home.”

“The Ripe FigNow that You live here in my chest,anywhere we sit is a mountaintop.And those other images,which have enchanted peoplelike porcelain dolls from China,which have made men and women weepfor centuries, even those have changed now.What used to be pain is a lovely benchwhere we can rest under the roses.A left hand has become a right.A dark wall, a window.A cushion in a shoe heel,the leader of the community!Now silence. What we sayis poison to someand nourishing to others.What we say is a ripe fig,but not every bird that flieseats figs.”

“Lovely days don’t come to you, you should walk to them.”

“Meditation is the way in which we come to feel our basic inseparability from the whole universe, and what that requires is that we shut up.”

“In the past, the poverty they shared had a certain sweetness about it. When the end of the day came and they would eat their dinner in silence with the oil lamp between them, there was a secret joy in such simplicity, such retrenchment.”

“It's not the violence of the few that scares me, it's the silence of the many”

“Have a vision; but it's not enough to have a vision, you have to communicate that vision to others. You have to communicate it to people who work with you and for you. You have to communicate it to the world leaders with whom you come in touch.”

“How clever you are, my dear! You never mean a single word you say.”

“I feel as if my life had grown more outward when I can express it.”
