Poesie

Invece di resistere ai cambiamenti, arrenditi. Lascia che la Vita sia con te,  non contro di te. Se pensi ‘La mia vita sarà sottosopra’  non ti preoccupare. Come fai a sapere  che il sotto non sia migliore del sopra? Shams Tabrizi

Study me as much as you like, you will not know me, for I differ in a hundred ways from what you see me to be. Put yourself behind my eyes and see me as I see myself, for I have chosen to dwell in a place you cannot see. […]

It is never late to ask yourself “Am I ready to change my life, am I ready to change myself?”. However old we are, whatever we went through, it is always possible to reborn. If each day is a copy of the last one, what a pity! Every breath is […]

We have fallen into the place where everything is music. The strumming and the flute notes rise into the atmosphere, and if the whole world’s harp should burn up, there will still be hidden music playing, playing. This singing art is sea foam. The graceful movements come from a pearl […]

Dervishood tells me, you cannot become a dervish. So what can I tell you? You cannot become a dervish. A dervish needs a wounded heart and eyes full of tears. He needs to be as easy going as a sheep. You can’t be a dervish. He must be without hands […]

Quando senti  una gioia piena di pace, è quando sei  vicino alla verità. Rumi  

Metti via ogni immaginazione, e rimani, saldo in ciò che sei. Kabir

Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. Rumi  Sammezzano Castel, Toscany, Italy

No matter how fast you run, your shadow more than keeps up. Sometimes, it’s in front! Only full, overhead sun diminishes your shadow. But that shadow has been serving you! What hurts you, blesses you. Darkness is your candle. Your boundaries are your quest. I can’t explain this, but it […]

And then You are, O then You are: The Beloved of every creature Revealed with such grandeur -bursting From each cell in my body, I kneel, I laugh, I weep, I sing. I sing. Hafiz

    The heart is The thousand-stringed instrument. Our sadness and fear come from being Out of tune with love. All day long God coaxes my lips To speak, So that your tears will not stain His green dress. It is not that the Friend is vain, It is just […]

Love is not condescension, never that, nor books, nor any marking on paper, nor what people say of each other. Love is a tree with branches reaching into eternity and roots set deep in eternity, and no trunk! Rumi

Troubled? Then stay with me, for I’m not. Lonely? A thousand naked amorous ones dwell in ancient caves Beneath my eyelids. Riches? Here’s a pick, My whole body is an emerald that begs, “Take me.” Write all that worries you on a piece of parchment; Offer it to God Even […]

Stay in the spiritual fire. Let it cook you. Be well-baked loaf and lord of the table. Come and be served to your brothers. You have been a source of pain. Now you`ll be the delight. You have been an unsafe house. Now you`ll be the One who sees into […]

Listen: this world is the lunatic’s sphere, Don’t always agree it’s real. Even with my feet upon it And the postman knowing my door My address is somewhere else. Hafiz

Now be silent. Let the One who creates words speak. He made the door, He made the lock, He also made the key. Rumi
