That Love is all there is, Is all we know of Love
Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) An American Poet
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don’t go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want. Don’t go back to sleep. People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open. Don’t go back to sleep.
Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī (1207-1273)
Sufi mystic, poet, and founder of the
The Islamic Brotherhood, known as the Mevlevi Order.
“The quote from Dickinson was made famous for our generation by the Beatles. It is something that resonates in every cell of my body: I feel love. Love is the truth, and we need to bring our awareness to it and notice how it feels in the body. The Rumi quote reminds us to stay conscious, to remain aware and awake right now, because truly, love is all there is.”
