Love Memories Night

More From Rumi

For him it was a dark passage which led to nowhere, then to nowhere, then again to nowhere, once again to nowhere, always and forever to nowhere, heavy on the elbows in the earth to nowhere, dark, never any end to nowhere, hung on all time always to unknowing nowhere, this time and again for always to nowhere, now not to be borne once again always and to nowhere, now beyond all bearing up, up, up and into nowhere, suddenly, scaldingly, holdingly all nowhere gone and time absolutely still and they were both there, time having stopped and he felt the earth move out and away from under them.

Africa has a genious for extremes, for the beginning and the end. it seems simultaneously connected to some memory of eden and to some foretaste of apocalypse. nowhere is day more vivid or night darker. nowhere are forests more luxuriant. nowhere is there a continent more miserable
Memories Night Eden
Most poor people are not on welfare. . . i know they work. i'm a witness. they catch the early bus. they work every day. they raise other people's children. they work every day. they clean the streets. they work every day. they drive vans with cabs. they work every day. they change beds you slept in these hotels last night and can't get a union contract. they work every day . . .
Motivational Children Night
I say too much of what, he says too much of everything, too much stuff, too many places, too much information, too many people, too much of things for there to be too much of, there is too much to know and i don't know where to begin but i want to try.

There is no night life in spain. they stay up late but they get up late. that is not night life. that is delaying the day. night life is when you get up with a hangover in the morning. night life is when everybody says what the hell and you do not remember who paid the bill. night life goes round and round and you look at the wall to make it stop. night life comes out of a bottle and goes into a jar. if you think how much are the drinks it is not night life.
Morning Wall Hangover
Two angels guide the path of man, both aged and yet young. as angels are, ripening through endless years, on one he leans: some call her memory, and some tradition; and her voice is sweet, with deep mysterious accords: the other, floating above, holds down a lamp with streams a light divine and searching on the earth, compelling eyes and footsteps. memory yields, yet clings with loving check, and shines anew, reflecting all the rays of that bright lamp our angel reason holds. we had not walked but for tradition; we walk evermore to higher paths by brightening reason's lamp.

Sweet Food Knowledge
I exist. it's sweet, so sweet, so slow. and light: you'd think it floated all by itself. it stirs. it brushes by me, melts and vanishes. gently, gently. there is bubbling water in my mouth. i swallow. it slides down my throat, it caresses me — and now it comes up again into my mouth. for ever i shall have a little pool of whitish water in my mouth - lying low - grazing my tongue. and this pool is still me. and the tongue. and the throat is me.
