umi and love

“My personal experience in meditation brought me face to face with God. Hand in hand. Heart to heart. And almost to the point He was me and I was Him. We were just us. I don’t know how to phrase it, it was just a closeness that is impossible to be that close with a human.”

– Alice Coltrane

“The truth was a mirror in the hands of God. It fell, and broke into pieces. Everybody took a piece of it, and they looked at it and thought they had the truth.”

– Rumi

“I take pleasure in my transformations. I look quiet and consistent, but few know how many women there are in me.”

– Anais Nin

“Life is revealing. It is not only human beings who speak; if only the ears can hear even plants and trees and all nature speak, in the sense that nature reveals itself, reveals its secret. In this way we communicate with the whole of life. Then we are never alone, then life becomes worth living.”

– Hazrat Inayat Khan, The Alchemy of Happiness

“If the soul does not hear the call and sleeps, it is not the fault of nature, which is continually calling. Therefore, if I were to say in a few words, how to find one’s purpose, I would say: by waking from sleep.” – Hazrat Inayat Khan

“I looked in temples, churches, and mosques. But I found the Divine within my heart.” – Rumi
