“Sometimes you hear a voice through the door
calling you, as fish out of water hears the sound of
the waves or a hunting falcon hears the drums
come back, come back
This turning towards what you deeply love saves you.
Read the book of your life which has been given to you.
A voice comes to your soul saying-
lift your foot cross over. Move into emptiness
of question and answer and question.”

-Rumi, whose words have us a new direction at every corner.
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.
Rumi
