A Quote by Mevlana Jelalu'ddin Rumi on sacred and love

The Silk Worm

I stood before a silk worm one day.
And that night my heart said to me,

"I can do things like that, I can spin skies,
I can be woven into love that can bring warmth to people;
I can be soft against a crying face,
I can be wings that lift, and I can travel on my thousand feet
throughout the earth, my sacs filled with the sacred."

And I replied to my heart,
"Dear, can you really do all those things?"

And it just nodded "Yes" in silence.

So we began and will never cease.
