    Rumi

    Rumi - Portrait

    Check this Poet/mystic/sufi and his fantastically beautiful material.

    Favorite samples (Note:each paragraph is a seperate poem):


    Out beyond ideas of
    wrongdoing and rightdoing
    there is a field...
    I'll meet you there


    There is a way between voice and presence
    where information flows.
    In disciplined silence it opens.
    With wandering talk it closes.


    Dance, as though no one is watching,
    Love, as though you've never been hurt before,
    Sing, as though no one can hear you,
    Work, as though you don't need the money,
    Live, as though heaven is on earth.


    I have lived on the lip
    of insanity, wanting to know reasons,
    knocking on a door. It opens.
    I've been knocking from the inside!


    Nibble at Me

    Nibble at me.
    Don't gulp me down.
    How often is it you have a guest in your house
    who can fix everything?


    Who Makes These Changes

    Who makes these changes?
    I shoot an arrow right.
    It lands left.
    I ride after a deer and find myself
    chased by a hog.
    I plot to get what I want
    and end up in prison.
    I dig pits to trap others
    and fall in.

    I should be suspicious
    of what I want.
