WHISPERS OF LOVE

Love whispers to my ear,
"Better to be a prey than a hunter.
Make yourself My fool.
Stop trying to be the sun and become a speck!
Dwell at My door and be homeless.
Don't pretend to be a candle,
be a moth,
so you may taste the savor of Life
and know the power hidden in serving."
Rumi
