Rumi-nate

Ruminate is to engage in contemplation or to go over something again and again casually and slowly. Rumi-nate is to contemplate Rumi and his poetry again and again, understanding his intense and undying love for love, God, unity and respect of all things and people.While this blog is not solely dedicated to Rumi, it is dedicated to things that reflect those beautiful aspects of Rumi and his poetry. I hope you enjoy your stay and learn something new about yourself, Islam, love and even me.

Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame was a really deep movie for kids, re-watching it years later I notice how heavy many of the messages are. Racism was an obvious one but the portrayal of religion and how it can be so badly skewed to support the prejudice and evil within people and also be so beautiful ... pretty cool I must say.

How arrogant is it of us to assume God has the same prejudices we do?

And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.

Love this song:D

That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is. Most people love you for who you pretend to be. To keep their love, you keep pretending - performing. You get to love your pretence. It's true, we're locked in an image, an act - and the sad thing is, people get so used to their image, they grow attached to their masks. They love their chains. They forget all about who they really are. And if you try to remind them, they hate you for it, they feel like you're trying to steal their most precious possession.

"I'm the only one that loves you."

"I'm the only person in your life that cares about you."

"You need me, you couldn't survive on your own."

"You're nothing without me."

Anyone who says any of those things doesn't really love or care about you, and you can make it without them. You are not nothing without them and you don't need need them to control you. You are enough for yourself.

I guess the only time most people think about injustice is when it happens to them.

Charles Bukowski (Ham On Rye)

[sara7aras-deactivated20130921]

You have been told that, even like a chain, you are as weak as your weakest link. This is but half the truth. You are also as strong as your strongest link. To measure you by your smallest deed is to reckon the power of ocean by the frailty of its foam. To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.
