Rumi, as translated by Coleman Barks.
I can vouch for line one, but defied line two and read some poetry with my first-thing mug of tea. The rest will take ongoing care and attention.

#PoetryMatters #Sun

The sun is love. The lover,
a speck circling the sun.

A spring wind moves to dance
any branch that isn‘t dead.
Something opens our wings ...

From, The Turn :
Dance in your blood.

My beautiful book of Rumi given to me by @Tanisha_A ❤️

Darkness is your candle.
Your boundaries are your quest.

“Shine like the whole universe is yours.” -Rumi
Rumi is my favorite poet. His wisdom seems so simple, but profound and I find, difficult to practice. I find peace and beauty in his words. This is a skinny book, but any quote I read rings true. Do you read poetry? Do you have a favorite?

#GetMovin Day 22: Rumi, I truly believe, was one of #TheGreatest poets who ever lived. This sketch done by Riddell is perfect for that airy, free spirit vibe that is characteristic of Rumi‘s soulful poems.

Ericalambbrown @dsfisher I typically have it on my coffee table book stack. I flip through it and read a poem or two when I need to find something pretty to offset the ugliness in the world. 7y
kishore_kk I love Rumi too. And @dsfisher believe me its contents are equally beautiful. @Ericalambbrown by any chance, do you also read Urdu or Hindi poetry/ Shayari? 7y
Ericalambbrown @kitabi_keeda I haven‘t! Do you have any recommendations for good translations? 7y

I am your moon and moonlight too
I am your flower garden and your water too.
I have come all this way eager for you,
Without shoes or shawl.
I want you to laugh, to kill all your worries,
To love you, to nourish you.
