Behind the leaves


"Hurry and get out of this wind, for the weather is bad.
And when you've left this storm, you will come to a fountain;
You'll find a Friend there who will always nourish your soul.
And with your soul always green, you'll grow into a tall tree
Flowering always with sweet light-fruit, whose growth is interior."

Rumi, excerpt from Stay close, my heart.

with many thanks to my dear Kenza.

  1. If I may Amélie, this post reminded me of these lines by Rumi:
    "Hurry and get out of this wind, for the weather is bad.
    And when you've left this storm, you will come to a fountain;
    You'll find a Friend there who will always nourish your soul.
    And with your soul always green, you'll grow into a tall tree
    Flowering always with sweet light-fruit, whose growth is interior."
