The Moon said to the Stars,
do not look at my dark side for it is unseen by me,
and unworthy of Love.
And the stars said, I see your darkness and light
and love your contrasting nature.
Would it be love if I only loved the half that reflected my shining?
At a distance you only see my light.
Come closer and know that I am You.~Rumi (30 September 1207 – 17 December 1273)

Sufi night
I would not know what the spirit of a philosopher might wish more to be than a good dancer.(Nietzsche)
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
J. R. R. Tolkien The Fellowship of the Ring

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
