TEXT
Based on the poetry of Mevlana Jalal-e-Din Mevlavi Rumi (1207-1273)
Love rests on no foundation, it is an endless ocean.
With no beginning, and no end.
Imagine, a suspended ocean, riding on a cushion of ancient secrets.
All souls have drowned in it, and now dwell there.
One drop of that ocean is hope, and the rest is fear.
Love rests on no foundation, it is an endless ocean.
With no beginning, and no end.
Imagine, a suspended ocean, riding on a cushion of ancient secrets.
All souls have drowned in it, and now dwell there.
One drop of that ocean is hope, and the rest is fear.
