The world is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.

Compilation of the Heart - 'Only this' will lead you to 'That'.



I asked, "Why have I received only this?"

A voice replied, "'Only this' will lead you to That”.

Compilation of the Heart - My whole Heart

How wonderful it was to be for a while with those who surrender. - Rumi


Heart, I said, what a gift it has been
to enter this circle of lovers,
to see beyond seeing itself,
to reach and feel within the breast.
Rumi

Compilation of the Heart - Stars scream


  
~ We come spinning out of nothingness,  
  
   
  scattering stars like dust. ~
  
Rumi
 
 Scattering our Dreams...


~ We all walk in a land of dreams. For what are we but atoms and hope,
a handful of stardust and sinew? We are weary travelers
trying to find our way home on a road that never ends.
Am I a part of your dream? Or are you but a part of mine? ~

Libba Bray




Calling your name back at the night sky.

[Dust-heart on my satellite receiver. Found it while dusting. And no, it wasn't that filthy as it looks, I just had to edit the picture a lot.]

The Travelers

Journeys end in Lovers meeting. - William Shakespeare



Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. 
They're in each other all along.

Qui dormit, non peccat

Those who don't feel this Love / pulling them like a river, those who don't drink dawn / like a cup of spring water / or take in sunset like supper, those who don't / want to change, let them sleep. [...] If you want to improve your mind that way, sleep on. / I've given up on my brain. I've torn the cloth to shreds / and thrown it away. If you're not completely naked, / wrap your beautiful robe of words / around you, and sleep.  - Rumi, Ode 314
~
You can't wake a person who only pretends to be asleep. Let them sleep.

The Whisper


Deafened by the voice of desire
you are unaware
the Beloved lives
in the core of your heart.
Stop
the noise
and you will hear
His voice in the silence.

Compilation of the Heart - And I Walk

Do not look fearfully into the distance... On this path let the Heart be your guide. - Rumi

Although the road is never ending
Take a step and keep walking,
Do not look fearfully into the distance...
On this path let the Heart be your guide
For the body is hesitant and full of fear.
Rumi

Well purred, Cat!

"The lion is most handsome when looking for food." Rumi

~
I just can't help it, the song is perfect:
If life didn't make me laugh every once in a while, it just wouldn't be funny anymore.

Compilation of the Heart - "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"



Your task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
Rumi
