And my favourite is one of the best Rumi poems ever written

15. “I choose to love you in silence…
For in silence I find no rejection,

I choose to love you in loneliness…
For in loneliness no one owns you but me,

I choose to adore you from a distance…
For distance will shield me from pain,

I choose to kiss you in the wind…
For the wind is gentler than my lips,

I choose to hold you in my dreams…
For in my dreams, you have no end.”

  1. I love every single quote you’ve included but the one that speaks to me most is The moment you accept what troubles you’ve been given, the door will open. I have had many instances of having to accept the curveballs life threw at me. With acceptance, comes understanding and that in turn grows you in the most unexpected ways.

  2. Absolutely loving all these quotes! Great way to start out the New Year!!

  3. You have really brighten my day and I want to thank you for that I’m going to get myself out of this bed and I’m going to head out into the Big World today so I look forward to reading many more of your post and thank you once again
