I love it, mostly Rumi. It's like motivational poetry, for the nerds from 800 years ago.
“If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?” - Rumi
“Sit, be still, and listen,
because you're drunk
and we're at
the edge of the roof.”
― Rumi

- 616c 12y agoIf you ever take a Sufi Islam class, it is introductions to quotes of Rumi like these that will ruin you forever. God I love his work. There is a whole school of Sufi sects known as drunk Sufis, drunk on their love of God, so to speak, and Rumi is a fantastic artistic characterization of their mindset.
