Half-Heartedness


Gamble everything for love,
if you are a true human being.
If not, Leave this gathering.

Half-heartedness does not reach
into majesty. You set out
to find God, but then you keep
stopping for long periods
at mean-spirited roadhouses.

  1. I really like this one. Half-hearted roadhouses can be very alluring and I've been known to frequent quite a few. Let's see if just for today I can stay on the path.

At the request of a Rumi Reader, I have enabled comments, because I agree that someone, sometime might want to write about the power of Rumi's words. So many times they have met me in ways I just have to share, and so I want you to have that opportunity here. There is no expectation for comments, but please do write something if you feel the urge. ~ Ruth
