RUMI

  
I am so small I can barely be seen.
How can this great love be inside me?

Look at your eyes. They are small,
but they see enormous things.

*

When someone is counting out
gold for you, don't look at your hands,
or the gold. Look at the giver.


*

I would love to kiss you.
The price of kissing is your life.

Now my loving is running toward my life shouting,
What a bargain, let's buy it.
