Hormuz The Rainbow Island

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.

Whatever makes an impression on the heart seems lovely in the eye.

If you find the mirror of the heart dull, the rust has not been cleared from its face.

Hormuz Island from sea

Beauty surrounds us, but usually we need to be walking in a garden to know it.

The way the Beloved can fit in my heart, two thousand lives could fit in this body of mine. One kernel could contain a thousand bushels, and a hundred worlds pass through the eye of the needle.

The gifts of lovers to one another are, in respect to love, nothing but forms; yet, they testify to invisible love.

Why should I be unhappy? Every parcel of my being is in full bloom.

When the belly is empty, the body becomes spirit; and when it is full, the spirit becomes body.

Sunlight fell upon the wall; the wall received a borrowed splendor. Why set your heart on a piece of earth, O simple one? Seek out the source which shines forever.

That which God said to the rose, and caused it to laugh in full-blown beauty, He said to my heart, and made it a hundred times more beautiful.

Oh, bird of my soul, fly away now, For I possess a hundred fortified towers.
