A big thank you to my son-in-law, who besides raking our lawn, gave me a twenty-one page printout of Rumi quotes. I had planned to pick some favorites to help us through the upcoming days, but the first ten fulfilled that plan, so here they are. Thank you, Rumi.
• These pains you feel are messengers. Listen to them.
• We carry inside us the wonders we seek outside us.
• Only from the heart can you touch the sky.
• Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love.
• Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction.
• Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
• Love is the bridge between you and everything.
• Keep silent because the world of silence is a vast fullness.
• When will you begin that long journey into yourself?
• You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean, in a drop.
