Birds And Lovers


The difference between birds on the wing, and lovers of God, is that birds always fly in a certain direction, while lovers of God fly on the wings of their desire away from all directions. Every horse has its stable, every beast its pen, every bird its nest. And God knows best.


... Discourses of Rumi (Fihi ma Fihi), Mevlana Jalalludin Rumi
