Romantic thoughts from Rumi

1. "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."

2. "Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, 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."

3. "The wound is the place where the Light enters you."

4. "Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion."

5. "What you seek, is seeking you."

6. "The minute I heard my first love story,I started looking for you, not knowing, how blind that was.Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.They're in each other all along."

7. "If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?"

8. "Don’t grieve. Anything you lose, comes around in another form."

9. "Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free."

10. "You were born with wings, why crawl through life?"

11. "When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy."

12. "Knock, And He'll open the door.
 Vanish, and he'll make you shine like the sun.
 Fall, and he'll raise you to the heavens.
 Become nothing,
 And He'll turn you into everything."

13. "Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment."

14."Silence is the language of God,
 all else is poor translation."

-- Rumi
