You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop. ~Rumi
We are, all of us, people of the sea.
How will you know the difficulties of being human if you’re always flying off to blue perfection? Where will you plant your grief-seeds? We need ground to scrape and hoe, not the sky of unspecified desire. ~Rumi

When the heart is eclipsed by the mind, what you do may seem smart but be received as unkind.
I ask a flower, “How is it you are so wise so young?” ~Rumi
