Rumi Bird Quotations

Oh, bird of my soul, fly away now, For I possess a hundred fortified towers.

Physical existence is so cramped.We grow old and bent over like embryos.Nine months passes;it is time to be born. The lamb wants to graze green daylight. There are ways of being born twice,of coming to where you fly,not individually like birds, but as the sun moves with his bride,sincerity.

Every bird will follow it's specie.

Make my heart, O heart of the universe, a divine bird that nests only on the throne of God.

While still in the cage of your being behold the spirit bird before it flies away.

The feelings trembled and flapped in his chest like a bird newly put in a cage.

Each has to enter the nest made by the other imperfect bird.
