An eternal fort over Azerbaijan's mountains

Woman is a ray of God. She is not that earthly beloved: she is creative, not created.

Rumi

The countryside

I have seen the king with a face of Glory, He who is the eye and the sun of heaven, He who is the companion and healer of all beings, He who is the soul and the universe that births souls.

Rumi

Immortal Fort

I have no companion but Love, no beginning, no end, no dawn. The Soul calls from within me: 'You, ignorant of the way of Love, set Me free.'

Rumi
