One of Laura's favorite quotes is:"If the face of the beloved
does not make you gasp in wonder
and laugh ecstatically with joy
then you must be like a stone
good only for building prison walls.
With love you cannot bargain
there, the choice is not yours.
Love is a mirror, it reflects
Only your essence,
if you have the courage
to look in its face.
Whisper to me intimately, like a lover
for tenderness is rare in this world.
It is difficult to convey the magic of love
To those who are made of dust.
Seek the wisdom
that will untie your knot
seek the path
that demands your whole being.
Leave that which is not, but appears
to be
seek that which is, but is
not apparent.
You are searching the world for treasure
but the real treasure is yourself.
If you are tempted by bread
you will find only bread.
What you seek for
You become.
When you plant a tree
every leaf that grows will tell you,
what you sow ...Expand for more
will bear fruit.
So if you have any sense, my friend
donât plant anything but love,
you show your worth by what you seek
Water flows to those who want purity
wash your hands of all desires and
come to the table of Love.
Do you want me to tell you a secret?
The flowers attract the most beautiful lover
with their sweet smile and scent.
If you let God weave the verse in your poem
people will read it forever.
Why are you so afraid of silence,
silence is the root of everything.
If you spiral into its void
a hundred voices will thunder messages
you long to hear.
One day your heart
will take you to your lover.
One day your soul
will carry you to the Beloved
donât get lost in your pain,
know that one day
your pain will become your cure.
Never linger too long with the ignorant,
throw stones at their talk.
Walk only with the lovers,
the mirror of the soul gets rusty when
dipped in muddy water.
~Rumi
"...what is life without this bonding, this joining of living beings, this exchange of soul essence between the human and the wildness of the world but tasteless food in some dusty and empty place. And what are we then but abandoned and crumpled newspapers, yesterday's stories blowing down some wind-swept, darkened street..."
