We are tasting The taste this minute of eternity. We are pain and what cures pain, both. We are The sweet cold water and The jar that pours. Texts by Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks © 1995 Coleman Barks. Used by permission.

The form of our love is not a created form. Nothing can help me but that beauty. There was a dawn I remember when my soul heard something from your soul. I drank water from your spring and felt The current take me. Texts by Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks © 1995 Coleman Barks. Used by permission.
