"For love is immortality." Emily Dickinson

    I love the works of Rumi.  He was a 13th century Persian poet and theologian.  His works are.universal and resonate for me.  Did you know that in 2007 he was described as the most popular poet in America?  His writings reflect what I am feeling and cannot express.

Its your road, and yours alone.
others may walk it with you,
but no one can walk it for you.

     **************

There's nothing worse than to walk out along the street without you.I don't know where I'm going.
You're the road, and the knower of roads, more than maps, more than love.

     **************

Wherever your feet have walked on this planet
I go there secretly and lay my cheek.

     ************

I can sense your presence in my heart 
although you belong to all the world. 

     *************

I am a Mountain.You call , I echo.

     *************

Your body is away from me, 
but there is a window open 
from my heart to yours.
From this window, like the moon, 
I keep sending news secretly.

              (my favorite)
