More From Rumi

The curt truth is that, in a deep secret way, the state of being beloved is intolerable to many. the beloved fears and hates the lover, and with the best of reasons. for the lover is forever trying to strip bare his beloved. the lover craves any possible relation with the beloved, even if this experience can cause him only pain.
Pain Hate Forever
When the rose is gone and the garden faded you will no longer hear the nightingale's song. the beloved is all; the lover just a veil. the beloved is living; the lover a dead thing. if love withholds its strengthening care, the lover is left like a bird without care, the lover is left like a bird without wings. how will i be awake and aware if the light of the beloved is absent? love wills that this word be brought forth.
Song Garden Light
Both light and shadow are the dance of love. love has no cause, it is the astrolabe of god's secrets. lover and loving are inseparable and timeless. although i may try to describe love, when i experience it, i am speechless. although i may try to write about love, i am rendered helpless. my pen breaks, and the paper slips away at the ineffable place where lover loving and loved are one. every moment is made glorious by the light of love.
Love Writing Light
The lover's pleasure is in the pleasure of the beloved. the lover is satisfied when the beloved is fed. the lover is vain when the beloved is adorned.
Lovers Beloved Pleasure
There are three kinds of love; unselfish, mutual, and selfish. the unselfish love is of the highest kind; the lover only minds the welfare of the beloved and does not care for his own sufferings. in mutual love the lover not only wants the happiness of his beloved; but has an eye towards his own happiness also. it is middling. the selfish love is the lowest. it only looks towards its own happiness, no matter whether the beloved suffers weal or woe.
Selfish Eye Love Is
Why is it important that you are with god and god alone on the mountain top? it's important because it's the place in which you can listen to the voice of the one who calls you the beloved. to pray is to listen to the one who calls you 'my beloved daughter,' 'my beloved son,' 'my beloved child.' to pray is to let that voice speak to the center of your being, to your guts, and let that voice resound in your whole being.

I just think to be in that place, to be surrounded as i will and for my brief moment in the inauguration ceremony by my wife and by my children and my daughter-in-law, with family looking on from behind us in the platform and many hoosiers coming to be out in the crowds, i expect - it's again, it will be very, very humbling.

Daughter, i have now lived a hundred and nine winters in this world and have never yet met any such thing as luck. there is something about all this that i do not understand: but if ever we need to know it, you may be sure that we shall.

The ratings system is so bogus and people know it. fewer and fewer people care. the ratings board has sort of exposed itself. but my problem is, as a parent, there's this area of film that my daughters want to see. they're not my kind of films, i don't want to go see them, but i really want to know whether my daughters can see them or not. the morality of what the ratings board is doing now escapes me. i don't get it.
