thanks reaps and naumy for making this happen!
Come, come, whoever you are. Wonderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. It doesn't matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even if you have broken your vow a thousand times Come, yet again, come, come.” -Rumi      

A road might end at a single house,                           
but it is not love's road.
Love is a river.
Drink from it.                               -Rumi      

I open and fill with love and          
other objects evaporate.All
the learning in books stays put
on the shelf.Poetry, the dear
words and images of song, comes
down over me like mountain water.     -Rumi

 “… In the face of contemporary pecksniffian anaesthesia we'll erect a whole gallery of forebears, heroes who carried on the struggle against bad consciousness but still knew how to party, a genial gene pool, a rare and difficult category to define, great minds not just for Truth but for the truth of pleasure, serious but not sober, whose sunny disposition makes them not sluggish but sharp, brilliant but not tormented. Imagine a Nietzsche with good digestion. Not the tepid Epicureans nor the bloated Sybarites. Sort of a spiritual hedonism, an actual Path of Pleasure, vision of a good life which is both noble and possible, rooted in a sense of the magnificent over-abundance of reality.” Hakim Bey
