Words of inspiration

[violetbuttafly]

.. words that create the spark within us..
please feel free to share yours with me
~ RUMI ~
Here you are.
You are, I know you, & here I am
who you know well,
Again we dwell in form together
& I'm beginning to remember
& I watch you shine
& project your wonderous magic show
upon this place and time

"A bell is not a bell, until someone rings it.
A song is not a song, until someone sings it.
Love wasn't put in the heart to stay,
For love isn't love, until you give it away"

Spirited Away awesome..
"wherever you go there you are" ~ gave me the giggles

Look! I'm am a whale.
by Hafiz, translated by Daniel Ladinsky:

We live on the Sun's playground

Here,
Everyone gets what they want.

Sometimes the body of a beautiful woman,
Sometimes the body of a beautiful man,
Sometimes in the body of both
In one.

We used to play that kind of tag
In the animal world too.

Now a mouse,
Now a tiger,
Look! I'm am a whale - I got tired of the land,
Went back to the ocean for a while.

What power is it in our sinew and mind
That will not die,

That keeps us shopping for the perfect dress?

We have all heard the Flute Player
And keep dancing
Toward Him.

Hafiz,
You have seen the Flute Player
And cannot help but
Whirl.

Hey, I just realized Hafiz knew whales weren't fish about 300 years before scientists discovered it.

"trying to be someone else is a waste of the person you are"

"i'd rather be hated for something i am, than be loved for something i am not"

[Calibas]

I can't help posting another one from Hafiz, I love his poems.

When you can endure

When
The words stop
And you can endure the silence

That reveals your heart's
Pain

Of emptiness
Or that great wrenching-sweet longing,

That is the time to try and listen
To what the Beloved's
Eyes

Most want
To

Say.

I'd better stop before I fill this thread, it'll all be quotes from Hafiz and Kahlil Gibran.

[roseyaire]

Refuse to fall down.
If you cannot refuse to fall down, refuse to stay down.
If you cannot refuse to stay down, lift your heart towards heaven and like a hungry beggar ask that it be filled, and it will be filled.
You may be pushed down. You may be kept from rising.
But no one can keep you from lifting your heart towards heaven - only you.
The one who says nothing good comes from this, is not yet listening.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes, The Faithful Gardener
