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.

This is one of my favourite RUMI
And don't think the garden
loses its ecstasy in winter
It's quiet but the roots
down there are riotous.
Rumi
I am still very fond of Rumi.
Be like a tree and let the dead leaves drop.
Rumi
Thank you yoko for bringing back the Rumi posts.
Beyond this world and life we know
there is someone watching over us.
To know Him is not in our power.
But ince in a glimpse I saw
that we are His shadow
and our shadow is
the world.
Rumi
And don't think the garden
loses its ecstasy in winter
it's quiet but the roots
down there are rietous.
