If you never searched for the truth
come with us
and you will become a seeker.

If you were never a musician
come with us
and you will find your voice.

You may posses immense wealth
come with us
and you will become love's beggar.

You may think yourself a master
come with us
and love will turn you into a slave.

If you've lost your spirit,
come with us
take off your silk coverings,
put on our rough cloak
and we will bring you back to life.

In our gathering one candle lights hundreds,
we will light your path and give you courage
so you will open like a flower
and join in our joyous laughter.

Plant the seed of truth and watch it grow
when it spreads its branches
come with us and sit under the blossoms.
Your eyes will open to the secret of Truth.

~RUMI

Love,

Lilie

I am sorry for the above mistake...

Thank you Lilie,
This is beautiful.

Seek the wisdom
that will untie your knot
seek the path
that demands your whole being.
Leave that which is not, but appears
to be
seek that which is, but is
not apparent.

~RUMI

Dear Lilie,
I meant to add this painting by:

Thank you so much Inda, I really love that one...it touches me deeply

Love,

Lilie

Dear Lilie,
Thank you very much.
This image is so pure.

The Friend who cannot be seen is the most
subtle and precious.
The work that cannot be seen is the most
refined.
The cleverest of all is the one who does not
deceive himself
for he has deceived deceit.

Rumi

Ah, this is so........
thank you so much Inda



Love,

Lilie

Dear Lilie,
thank you.
This is very beautiful.

Another seed of truth from Rumi:

You are searching the world for treasure
but the real treasure is yourself.
If you are tempted by bread
you will find only bread.
What you seek for
you become.

So if we don´t seek
more than bread
we can still feel
granted with
the beauty of
creation...from
the thought of seed
seed, meal and bread



Love,

Lilie

Thank you Lilie,
for the wisdom.
Now I am getting really hungry,
so I better go for a walk,
and find a nice tree.

Oh, heart, sit with someone
who knows the heart.
Go under the tree
which has fresh blossoms.
Rumi

Inda and Lilie
Thank you very much.

I love Rumi and the images.
I think I will have some of this
bread with my coffee, looks really good!

Gisele

So let us sit
in the shadow
of this blossoming
tree, in silence
with our hearts´
in unison and
our minds intoxicated
by the delicate fragrance

Love,

Lilie

Dear Lilie and Gisele,
Thank you both. Let us just sit under the blossoms and absorb more Rumi wisdom:

There is a way from your heart to mine
and my heart knows it,
because it is clean and pure like water.
When the water is still like a mirror
it can behold the moon.
~Rumi

Thank you all so much for the beautiful words and images! Well, Lilie, now I have all the "bread" I want eh? he he..

LIGHT ON you all!

Lovebeams, Teo

You can't force peace, only show it.

Thank you Teo

I've spent my life, my heart
And my eyes this way.
I used to think that love
And beloved are different.
I know now they are the same.
I was seeing two in one.

Rumi

These poems and images are very beautiful.
Thank you very much.

Vicky

Let us fall in love again
and scatter gold dust all over the world.
Let us become a new spring
and feel the breeze drift in the heavens' scent.
Let us dress the earth in green,
and like the sap of a young tree
let the grace from within sustain us.
Let us carve gems out of our stony hearts
and let them light our path to Love.
The glance of Love is crystal clear
and we are blessed by its light.

Rumi

My dear heart
never think you are better than others.
Listen to their sorrows with compassion.
If you want peace, don't harbor bad thoughts
do not gossip and
don't teach what you don't know.

Rumi
