“

The world is a mountain
Whatever you say, good or bad, it will echo it back to you
Don’t say I sang nicely and mountain echoed an ugly voice…
That is not possible
The human intellect is a place where hesitation and uncertainty take root
There is no way to overcome this hesitation…except by falling in love



To reach the sea and be happy with a jug water is a waste
The sea that has pearls…
And a hundred thousand other precious things.

”
— "On the World" by Rumi, translation from Discourses of Rumi by Fatemeh Keshavarz

The page where some of this pretty stuff once lived is right here. The photos and art are usually reblogged; the quotes are from my interviews or things I'm reading.
