I have lived on the lip of insanity.

Wanting to know reasons,

Knocking frantically on this door!

Screaming silently.

Sobbing openly.

Exhausted to the bone.

Between life and death.

Wow! The door just opened!

Oh my God!

The joy of knowing

That I was knocking from the inside!

 

Rumi translated by Coleman Barks and John Moyne

(with additions and modifications by Harsha - with apologies to the purists)

 

Love to all

Harsha

thank you harshaji!

 

here is one !

 

When you are with everyone but me, you're with no one.

When you are with no one but me, you're with everyone.

Instead of being so bound up with everyone, be everyone.

When you become that many, you're nothing. Empty.

~Rumi

 

'The Essential Rumi' Barks/Moyne
