Quote

Rumi
Rumi
1250·Konya, Türkiye

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want. Don't go back to sleep. People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open. Don't go back to sleep.

And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself?

1260

You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean, in a drop.

John MuirJohn Muir·1890

Between every two pines is a doorway to a new world.

Henry David ThoreauHenry David Thoreau·1854

Morning is when I am awake and there is a dawn in me. Moral reform is the effort to throw off sleep. We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep.
