Rumi

[Inger Lise, Adm.]

When I am with you, we stay up all night,
When you're not here, I can't get to sleep.
Praise God for these two insomnias!
And the difference between them.

[Inger Lise, Adm.]

With the Beloved's water of life, no illness remains
In the Beloved's rose garden of union, no thorn remains.
They say there is a window from one heart to another
How can there be a window where no wall remains?

[Rita Verena Nylund]

I love Rumi!

[Siv Merete]

A Star Without a Name



When a baby is taken from the wet nurse,

it easily forgets her

and starts eating solid food.



Seeds feed awhile on ground,

then lift up into the sun.



So you should taste the filtered light

and work your way toward wisdom

with no personal covering.



That's how you came here, like a star

without a name. Move across the night sky

with those anonymous lights.



(Mathnawi III, 1284-1288)

[Bast]

Sterkt!
