“Love and patience do not go together.
Reason cannot stop your tears./
Ecstasy is like a beautiful town
that cannot be controlled
by any one of its inhabitants./
The caravan of life is passing us by,
but no one can hear the sound of the bells.”Rumi
Rumi (1207-1273) was a poet, Sufi mystic, faqih, and theologian. Written largely in Persian, his poetry reflected the teachings of Sufism on love, unity, and spiritual enlightenment.

Lots to consider here, thanks for sharing – I really should acquire a collection of Rumi’s verses.

They are exquisite, especially the verses on love. I didn’t want to bombard my blog feed with those now, so am thinking about sharing some come Valentine’s or something.
