Today is Day 3, the last day of the challenge. I do not wish it to end. However, today I will share 3 quotes by Rumi. You will have to dive deep to know the depth of his each word.
1. “I have lived on the lip
of insanity, wanting to know reasons,
knocking on a door. It opens.
I’ve been knocking from the inside.”
2. “The cure for pain is in the pain.”
(Here is the answer for all my melancholic poetries. I do not need motivation, I just need to pen down the pain, and some that is left to be felt as I gaze at the night sky.)
3. “My heart is so small
it’s almost invisible.
How can You place
such big sorrows in it?
“Look,” He answered,
“your eyes are even smaller,
yet they behold the world.”
This was in reponse to the Quote Challenge by Midnight Shadow and Gail. Thank you both, I so loved doing it.
I hope you all enjoyed reading the quotes.

Rumi has been my absolute favorite for quite a while now. His compilations on ‘Swallowing the Sun’ have left a positive influence on how I perceive things.
Great choice of quotes, though!(:
