More From Rumi

I cannot cause light; the most i can do is try to put myself in the path of its beam. it is possible, in deep space, to sail on solar wind. light, be it particle or wave, has force: you can rig a giant sail and go. the secret of seeing is to sail on solar wind. hone and spread your spirit till you yourself are a sail, whetted, translucent, broadside to the merest puff
Space Light Wind
Like the vital rudder of a ship, we have been provided a way to determine the direction we travel. the lighthouse of the lord beckons to all as we sail the seas of life. our home port is the celestial kingdom of god. our purpose is to steer an undeviating course in that direction. a man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder—never likely to reach home port. to us comes the signal: chart your course, set your sail, position your rudder, and proceed.
Home Men Sea
And she loved a man who was made out of nothing. a few hours without him and right away she’d be missing him with her whole body, sitting in her office surrounded by polyethylene and concrete and thinking of him. and every time she’d boil water for coffee in her ground-floor office, she’d let the steam cover her face, imagining it was him stroking her cheeks, her eyelids and she’d wait for the day to be over, so she could go to her apartment building, climb the flight of stairs, turn the key in the door, and find him waiting for her, naked and still between the sheets of her empty bed.
Coffee Missing Him Men
Like wind-- in it, with it, of it. of it just like a sail, so light and strong that, even when it is bent flat, it gathers all the power of the wind without hampering its course. like light-- in light, lit through by light, transformed into light. like the lens which disappears in the light it focuses. like wind. like light. just this--on these expanses, on these heights.
Strong Light Wind
I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: to reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it, but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.
Motivational Lying Moving
Be wild; that is how to clear the river. the river does not flow in polluted, we manage that. the river does not dry up, we block it. if we want to allow it its freedom, we have to allow our ideational lives to be let loose, to stream, letting anything come, initially censoring nothing. that is creative life. it is made up of divine paradox. to create one must be willing to be stone stupid, to sit upon a throne on top of a jackass and spill rubies from one’s mouth. then the river will flow, then we can stand in the stream of it raining down.

Art flies around truth, but with the definite intention of not getting burnt. its capacity lies in finding in the dark void a place where the beam of light can be intensely caught, without this having been perceptible before.
