Valentine love

Valentines Day makes us think about love; a valentine love.

 

Love poetry of Rumi

And the poetry of Rumi is often about love, in the deepest sense.  Just like a wedding vow or marriage proposal.  His poetry is not a Hallmark giftcard message.  The love poetry of Rumi makes us pause and think, helps us to go deeper and reflect what love means inside and how to show it outside.

 

Your task is not to seek for love

but merely to seek and find all the barriers

within yourself that you have built against it

Rumi

Love is the Water of Life
Drink it down with heart and soul!

Rumi

 

 

 

The springtime of Lovers has come,

that this dust bowl may become a garden;

the proclamation of heaven has come,

that the bird of the soul may rise in flight.

The sea becomes full of pearls,

the salt marsh becomes sweet as kauthar,

the stone becomes a ruby from the mine,

the body becomes wholly soul.

Rumi
