An excerpt from
Rumi: The Big Red Book



Every tree, every growing thing as it grows,
says this truth, You harvest what you sow.
With life as short as a half-taken breath,
do not plant anything but love.

The value of a human being can be measured
by what he or she most deeply wants.

Be free of possessing things.
Sit at an empty table.
Be pleased with water, the taste of being home.

People travel the world looking for the friend,
but that one is always at home.

A rose opens because she is the fragrance she loves.....

Tap into your poetic side and come take a look at some of the beautiful poetry books we carry here in our store. Come on in, stay warm and feel peace.
