You bewilder us with your grace,
all evils transformed into goodness.
You are the master alchemist.
You light the fire of love in Earth and Sky,
in heart and soul of every being.
Through your loving,
existence and non-existence merge.
All opposites unite.
All that is profane becomes sacred again.

For All Lovers ~ Rumi at His Finest.

Rumi : Have You Seen this Movie?
I am posting a verse of Rumi's here and I went on a search for a film made about his poetry. I found a link here for one and I am wondering if anyone has actually viewed it?
Rumi - poet
Never in sooth, does the lover seek without being sought by his beloved.
When the lightening of love has shot into this heart, know that there is love in that heart.
When love of God waxes in thy heart, beyond any doubt God hath love for thee.
No sound of clapping comes from one hand without the other hand.
Divine wisdom is destiny and decree made us lovers of one another.
Because of that fore- ordainment every part of the world is paired with its mate.
In the view of the wise, Heaven is man and Earth is woman: Earth fosters what Heaven lets fall.
When Earth lacks heat, Heaven sends it; when she has lost her freshness and moisture, Heaven restores it.
Heaven goes on his rounds, like a husband foraging for the wife's sake;
And Earth is busy with housewiferies; she attends to births and suckling that which she bears.
Regard Earth and Heaven as endowned with intelligence, since they do the work of intelligent beings.
Unless these twain taste pleasure from one another, why are they creeping together like sweethearts?
Without the Earth, how should flower and tree blossom? What then, would Heaven's water and heat produce?
As God put desire in man and woman to the end, the the world should be preserved by their union,
So hath he inplanted in every part of existence the desire for another part.
Day and Night are enemies outwardly; yet both serve one purpose,
Each in love with the other for the sake of perfecting their mutual work.
Without Night, the nature of Man would receive no income, so there would be nothing for Day to spend.

A beautiful and inspiring film about one of the greatest poets of all time. This video provides an additional spiritual dimension to the often passionate words in Rumi's poetry.

A Touch of Alchemy: Rumi

from another world
and void of space.
Transcendent, Pure,
Of unimaginable beauty,
Bringing with you
the essence of love
who are touched by you.
Mundane concerns,
troubles, and sorrows
dissolve in your presence,
Bringing joy
to ruler and ruled
To peasant and king
with your grace.
All evils
transform into
goodness.
in earth and sky
in heart and soul
of every being.
existence and nonexistence merge.
All opposites unite.
All that is profane
becomes sacred again.
My heart has become a bird
which searches in the sky.
Every part of me goes in different directions.
Is it really so
that the one I love is everywhere?
Two poems by Rumi the Sufi poet named as the poet for 2007 by UNESCO.
