Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder.... Walk out of your house like a shepherd.
--Rumi
Wake up with the morning breeze and ask for a change. Open and fill yourself with the wine that is your life.
--Rumi
Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kiss the ground.

It's important to pay attention to the name the holy one has for things.
We name everything according to the number of legs it has. The holy
one names it according to what is inside. Moses had a rod. He thought
his name was 'staff'. But inside its name was dragonish snake. We thought
the name Omar meant 'agitator against priests'. But in eternity his
name was 'the one who believes'. No one knows our name until our last
breath goes out.
--Rumi
