hienoja runoja/tekstejä

menin läpi vanhaa kirjoitusarkistoani ja olin kirjannu ylös vuosia sitten hienoja runoja ja tekstinpätkiä, näyttävät moni Rumin tekosilta. Rumi oli siis 1200 -luvulla elänyt persialainen runoilija/mystikko.

You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens

Put your thoughts to sleep,
do not let them cast a shadow
over the moon of your heart.
Let go of thinking.

There is a secret medicine given only to those who hurt so hard they can't hope.
The hopers would feel slighted if they knew

I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I'll be mad.

Forget safety. Live where you fear to live.

Try something different. Surrender.

Soul, if you want to learn secrets,

your heart must forget about
shame and dignity.
You are God's lover,

yet you worry
what people
are saying

When you lose all sense of self the bonds of a thousands chains will vanish.
Lose yourself completely, return to the root of the root of your own soul.

Make of yourself a light.
