I want to know the joy of how you whisper "more

• Silence
  is an ocean. Speech is a river.
  When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk
  into the language-river. Listen to the ocean,
  and bring your talky business to an end.
  Traditional words are just babbling
  in that presence, and babbling is a substitute
  for sight.

• Lovers O lovers, lovers it is time to set out from the world. I hear a drum in my soul's ear coming from the depths of the stars. Our camel driver is at work; the caravan is being readied. He asks that we forgive him for the disturbance he has caused us, He asks why we travellers are asleep. Everywhere the murmur of departure; the stars, like candles thrust at us from behind blue veils, and as if to make the invisible plain, a wondrous people have come forth.

  Rumi

• An eye is meant to see things. The soul is here for its own joy. A head has one use: For loving a true love. Feet: To chase after. Love is for vanishing into the sky. The mind, for learning what men have done and tried to do. Mysteries are not to be solved: The eye goes blind when it only wants to see why. A lover is always accused of something. But when he finds his love, whatever was lost in the looking comes back completely changed.

  Rumi

  Eye, Love Is, Men
