Al-Ghazzali (a muslim jurist, theologian, philosopher and mystic) died December 1111 AD , and under his bed a paper was found containing the following stanzas:

"Do not believe that this corpse you see is myself.
I am spirit and this is naught but flesh.
I am pearl which has left its shell deserted.
It was my prison where I spent my time in grief.
I am a bird and it was my cage.
Whence I have not flown forth and it is left as a token.
Praise be to God, who hath now set me free."

The beauty we love

Today, like every day,
We wake up hollow and frightened.
Don't open the door to the study and begin reading.
Reach for a musical instrument.
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

Jalil al-Din Rumi
