Rumi: “Come, Come Whoever You Are”

RumiCome, come whoever you are.

Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving — it doesn’t matter.

Ours is not a caravan of despair.

Come, even if you have broken your vow a hundred times,

Come, come again, come.

                                                                 — Rumi

  • As quoted in Sunbeams : A Book of Quotations (1990) by Sy Safransky, p. 67

      2. I just looked to see if you put up the recipe. I didn’t find that but I see the pictures. I was just about to go to the store to get something to make for dinner. Your timing is perfect! Thanks. I will find the recipe online…… unless you posted it and I didn’t see it.
