Photo: THE POWER OF LOVE


Through love, bitter things taste sweet.
Through love, pains become as healing balms.
Through love, thorns turn into roses.
Through love, vinegar becomes sweet wine.
Through love, hard stones turn soft like butter.
Through love, soft wax becomes hard iron.
Through love, grief has the flavour of joy.
Through love, stings are like honey.
Through love, lions are harmless as mice.
Through love, sickness is health.
Through love, the dead come to life.
Through love, the king is humble as a slave.


~ Jalil al-Din Rumi (1207-1273), Persia ~
