More Rumi

Not until someone dissolves
can he or she know
what union is.
That descends only
into emptiness.
A lie does not change to truth
with just talking about it.

from 'Say I am You'

I can break off from anyone,
except that presence within.
Anyone can bring gifts,
Give me someone who takes away.

From 'Unseen Rain'

Take someone who doesn't keep score,
Who's not looking to be richer, or afraid of losing,
who has not the slightest interest even
in his own personality: He's free.

From 'Open Secret'
