Why are you knocking at every other door ?
go, knock at the door of your own heart.
~ Rumi
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
~ Rumi
Out beyond ideas
Once the seed of faith takes root
it cannot be blown away,
even by the strongest wind –
Now that’s a blessing!
~ Rumi
Once the seed of faith takes root
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.

On the path of Love we are neither masters nor the owners of our lives. We are only a brush in the hand of the Master Painter.
~Rumi
On the path of Love
Accepting your darkest emotions is the key to psychological health
Rumi, the 13th-century Sufi poet, famously compared emotions—“a joy, a depression, a meanness”—to “unexpected visitors.” His advice was to let them in laughing, but that’s not what we do. Instead, we pretend not to notice, or even hide. We want to bury resentment and anger, or trade loneliness in for the more fashionable gratitude.
About Coleman Barks
Poeta reconocido en Estados Unidos, Coleman Barks (Chattanooga, Tennessee) es famoso por haber hecho accesible la poesía de Rumi al mundo occidental. Barks no lee ni habla persa, el idioma de la poesía de Rumi. Sin embargo, durante décadas ha trabajado minuciosamente con traducciones académicas, logrando liberar la obra de Rumi del mundo exclusivamente académico. Numerosos premios y títulos honorarios han sido otorgados a Barks tanto en Occidente como en Oriente, entre ellos un doctorado honorario (2006) de la Universidad de Teherán en reconocimiento a su contribución en la traducción de Rumi.
We had a problem; we needed to be understood. But when we realized that we couldn’t explain ourselves, then, silence became our friend. Hz. Mevlana (Rumi)
We had a problem
Look At As Many Times As You Wish
But You Won’t Get To Know Me!
Since You Have Last Seen Me
I Have Changed A Hundred Times…..
❤️~~~ Rumi (R.A.)
