Love and Surrender

This place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief.

- Rumi (via samsaranmusing)

The law of Wonder rules my life at last
I burn each second of my life to love
each second of my life burns out in love
in each leaping second love lives afresh.

- Rumi (via shaktilover)

The gauge of a good poem is…the size of the love-bruise it leaves on your neck.
Or the size of the love-bruise on your brain.
Or the size of the love-lump it can weave into your soul.
Or, indeed, it could be all of the above, why not?

- Hafez

Run my dear,
From anything
That may not strengthen
Your precious budding wings.

Run like hell my dear,
From anyone likely
To put a sharp knife
Into the sacred, tender vision
Of your beautiful heart.

-   حافظ Hafez  (via indiene)

Need brings us together; that makes need sacred.

- Hafez

Love creates a synchronicity with what love loves.

- Hafez

It is the nature of this world to share its burden with you.

And it is my nature to remove it from your back.

- Hafez
