"They say the only person whose heart never breaks is the person without a heart." ~ Mars Tokyo

Mars makes amazingly beautiful miniature theaters. If you don't know her work, please visit teeny theaters for a magical and surreal experience

The Pearl

Everyone is afraid of death,
but the real Sufis just laugh:
nothing tyrannizes their hearts.
What strikes the oyster shell
doesn't damage the pearl.

-Mathnawi-

Pure Gold

How will you know your real friends?
Pain is dear to them as life.
A friend is like gold. Trouble is like fire.
Pure gold delights in the fire.

-Mathnawi-

Surrender

It suits the generous man to give money,
but truly the generosity of the lover
is to surrender his soul.
If you give bread for God's sake,
you will be given bread in return.
If you give your life for God's sake,
you will be given Life in return.

-Mathnawi-

Awwww . . . thanks for the poetry.

The trip was amazing, and now I'm back at the daily grind (day two . . . gah!).

Hopefully, I will have a fresh new lj post before the weekend is over.
