The center clears. Knowing comes:
The body is not singular like a corpse,
But singular like a salt grain
still in the side of the mountain.

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

Many of the faults you see in others, dear reader,
are your own nature reflected in them.
As the Prophet said,
“The faithful are mirrors to one another
are your own nature reflected in them.

As minerals in the ground rise inside trees
and become tree,
as plant faces an animal
and enters the animal,
so a human
can put down the heavy
body baggage and
be light.

Label me, define me, nail me down with cold words and that box will be your coffin, for I do not know who I am.
quote
Why are you so afraid of silence?
Silence is the root of everything.
If you spiral into its void,
a hundred voices will thunder messages you long to hear.

…Forget the future.
I’d worship someone who could do that.
On the way you may want to look back, or not.
But if you can say, There’s nothing ahead,
there will be nothing there.
Stretch your arms
and take hold the cloth of your clothes
with both hands. The cure for pain is in the pain.
Good and bad are mixed. If you don’t have both,
you don’t belong with us.
When one of us gets lost,
is not here, he must be inside us. There’s no
place like that anywhere in the world.
Rumi
