When Love comes suddenly and taps
on your window, run and let it in but first
shut the door of your reason.
Even the smallest hint chases love away
like smoke that drowns the freshness
of the morning breeze.

the way is barred, you can't pass through
but to the lover it offers a hundred blessings.

Love has climbed the Holy Mountain.

Love speak from its nest of silence. — Rumi
