The Flames of Your Heart (12/20/15)

Posted on December 20, 2015December 19, 2015 by Millicent
The Flames of Your Heart (12/20/15)
The Flames of Your Heart (12/20/15)

You are nothing but wet kindling

Until you are cooked in the flames of your heart.

Unless you rid yourself of the body’s cloak,

The flames of Love cannot be your mentor.

Ergin, Rubailar, Verse #3, Page 419

A Treasure (12/6/15)
On Humanity (12/6/15)

O one who is dying by trying to untie the knot you tied yourself,

O one born in Union, you are dying in separation,

O one who sleeps thirsty at the river bank,

You are dying and begging at the side of a treasure.

Ergin, Rubailar, Verse #1, Page 381
