Selections from Rumi’s little Book of wisdom: “people always fall in love with what they can’t have. They readily give up their freedom in order to own what they can’t understand; and they never fully appreciate what they’ve rightfully owned from the beginning.” “There is never a moment when we’re not in love. Every hour there might be a new love: the love of sleep | love of rest | love of the Harp | or simply love of beauty. When we feel enveloped by these feelings | we know we’re enveloped by love.” “what a shame to finally reach the open sea but settle for a modest jug of water!".
