This week we had to read a poem by Rumi.
Rumi is a rather older poet, as in the 13th century old.
For more information on Rumi, click here.
When he wrote the poem Night and Sleep, the idea of love came to me as a pathetic 8th grade relationship type of thing.
(To read the whole poem, click this link.)
But, this poem is actually about love to God, as religion was key in the past.
To me, in this poem, love is referring to God.
"A head has one use: For loving a true love"(Rumi).
The head, as in eyes, ears, nose, mouth, brain, has one purpose.
That one purpose is to love God.
Your whole life is dedicated to God and only him.
I could not find one YouTube video for this topic, which made me very sad as I always have a video at the end.
So to replace a video, here are multiple poems written by Rumi if you're interested.
A Moment Of Happiness
Birdsong
Defeated by Love
Here I Am
I Was Dead
Love Is The Cure
Only Breath
Until You've Found Pain
