“What a grand heart it is, this sacred heart of yours. How can it be worthy of anything other than tenderness, gratitude, acknowledgment, and appreciation?” -Rumi

[entheognosis]

Love is the dancing cry of the soul. I leap across the mountaintops, madly singing the song of all songs I float through the ether, intoxicated, thrilled, I think only of your love, your calling to me And I dance the thousand dances of love, all returning to you. Rumi

Portal of Perception by Freydon Rassouli

[radical-revolution]

Come back my soul,

How much longer will

You linger in the garden of deceit?

I have sent you a hundred messages

I have shown you a hundred ways

Either you never read them

Or you ignore my advice.

Come back my soul, do not waste

Time with the cold-hearted

They do not know your worth.

Why do you seek water

When you are the stream

Have you forgotten?

You are the king's falcon,

You are a ray of the Beloved,

A divine wonder!

Rumi

The Rose 🌹 Creation is the product of synchronizing our energy with the universe. Once we experience the whole and recognize it, we become aware that we are nothing but the Divine Creative Force. -- Freydoon Rassouli

Rassouli

[mypoeticsoul-ny]

We have become one

in such a way,

that I am confused whether

I am you,

or you are me.

When in Love,

body, mind, heart and soul don’t even exist.

By day I praised you

and never knew it.

By night I stayed with you

and never knew it.

I always thought that

I was me -- but no,

I was you

and never knew it.

Rumi 🧡
