Guest guest Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` If the thought of sorrow spoils your joy, yet it prepares you for joy. Sorrow sweeps the house fiercely, emptying it of everything, then, coming from the Source of goodness, a new joy enters. Sorrow chases away the withered leaves in the heart, then new green leaves can grow. Sorrow uproots the previous joy, then a new delight springs from beyond. - Rumi ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` Muriel Maufroy " Breathing Truth - Quotations from Jalaluddin Rumi " Sanyar Press - London, 1997 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
