Dear Fellow Students
Our ultimate aim is to learn how to love. Rumi shares, with beautiful words, a little from his understanding on this matter.
WHERE YOU LOVE FROM
Love, Charlie
Love, Charlie
Look inside and find where a person
loves from. That’s the reality,
not what they say.
Hypocrites give attention to form, the right
and wrong ways of professing belief.
Grow instead in universal light.
When that revealed itself, God gave it
a thousand different names, the least
of those sweet-breathing names being,
the one who is not in need of anyone.
You’ve so distracted me,
your absence fans my love.
Don’t ask how
Then you come near.
“Do not…” I say, and
“Do not…” you answer.
Don’t ask why
This delights me.
In your light I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest
where no one sees you,
but sometimes I do,
and that sight becomes this art.
Drumsound rises on the air,
its throb, my heart.
A voice inside the beat says,
“I know you’re tired,
but come, this is the way”
Are you jealous of the ocean’s generosity?
Why would you refuse to give
this love to anyone?
Fish don’t hold the sacred liquid in cups!
they swim the huge fluid freedom.
