If we come to sleep we are his drowsy ones and if we come to wake we are in his hands if we come to weeping we are his cloud full of raindrops and if we come to laughing we are his lightning in that moment if we come to anger and battle it is the reflection of his wrath and if we come to peace and pardon it is the reflection of his love who are we in this complicated world?

If We Come To Sleep We Are

Rumi

If we come to sleep we are his drowsy ones and if we come to wake we are in his hands if we come to weeping we are his cloud full of raindrops and if we come to laughing we are his lightning in that moment if we come to anger and battle it is the reflection of his wrath and if we come to peace and pardon it is the reflection of his love who are we in this complicated world?

Sleep Reflection Clouds

More From Rumi

Pardon me, o perfections of my god, for having preferred imperfect and evil inclinations to thee! pardon me, o justice of my god, for having outraged thee by my sins. pardon me, o holiness of my god, for having so long stained thy sight's purity by my sins. pardon me, o mercy of my god, for having despised so long thy mercy's voice. in deep sorrow and contrition, i cast myself at thy feet: have mercy on me.

If you are a poet, you will see clearly that there is a cloud floating in this sheet of paper. without a cloud, there will be no rain; without rain, the trees cannot grow; and without trees, we cannot make paper. the cloud is essential for the paper to exist. if the cloud is not here, the sheet of paper cannot be here either. so we can say that the cloud and the paper inter-are.

We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. on one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. on the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.

Go back, go back to sleep. yes, you are allowed. you who have no love in your heart, you can go back to sleep. the power of love is exclusive to us, you can go back to sleep. i have been burnt by the fire of love. you who have no such yearning in your heart, go back to sleep. the path of love, has seventy-two folds and countless facets. your love and religion is all about deceit, control and hypocrisy, go back to sleep. i have torn to pieces my robe of speech, and have let go of the desire to converse. you who are not naked yet, you can go back to sleep.

Wake up, america. the insurance companies took over health care. wake up, america. the pharmaceutical companies took over drug pricing. wake up, america. the speculators took over wall street. wake up, america. they want to take your social security. wake up, america. multinational corporations took over our trade policies, factories are closing, good paying jobs lost. wake up, america. we went into iraq for oil.

I just want to hear the true voices of women self-expressing - smart ones, stupid ones, ugly ones, beautiful ones, good ones, bad ones, fat ones, thin ones, all of it - until the profound silence that has resounded throughout history is filled with a healthy chorus coming from our side of the aisle.

Similar Quotes

Life is the blossoming of flowers in the spring, the ripening of fruit in the fall, the rhythm of the earth and of nature. life is the cry of cicadas signalling the end of summer, migratory birds winging south in a transparent autumn sky, fish frolicking in a stream. life is the joy beautiful music installs in us, the thrilling sight of a mountain peak reddened by the rising sun, the myriad combinations and permutations of visible and invisible phenomena. life is all things.

All through the night i'll be standing over you all through the night i'll be watching over you and through the bad dreams i'll be right there, baby holding your hand, telling you everything is all right. and when you cry i'll be right there telling you were never anything less than beautiful. so don't worry i'm your angel standing by.

I had a husband who, i'm convinced, was an undiagnosed manic depressive. he didn't treat me as if i had a brain - i was just this beautiful little doll he could show off.

Beautiful things grow to a certain height and then they fail and fade off, breathing out memories as they decay.
