A Quote by Mevlana Jelalu'ddin Rumi on limitations, asking, and beginning

You've flapped and fluttered against limits long enough.
You've been a bird without wings in a house without doors or windows.
Compassion builds a door.
Restlessness cuts a key.
ASK!
Step off
proudly into sunlight,
not looking back.
Take sips of this pure wine being poured.
Don't mind that you've been given a dirty cup.
