Today my dear old friend Rumi found me and said this:

A road might end at a single house,
but it's not love's road.

Love is a river.
Drink from it.

and

One who does what the Friend wants done
will never need a friend.

There's bankruptcy that's pure gain.
The moon stays bright when it
doesn't avoid the night.

A rose's rarest essence
lives in its thorn.
