At night I open the window and ask
the moon to come and press its
face against mine.
Breathe into me.
~ Jalaluddin Rumi, excerpt from “Some Kiss We Want” in A Year with Rumi: Daily Readings by Coleman Barks
Photo of full moon over Peyto Lake by Cath Simard. Peyto Lake is a glacier-fed lake in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. Don’t miss her other shots of Banff here.

Everything Rumi wrote is inspirational! . 💕💕

Orb-alicious!

You’ve been to Australia but never to Banff? Really? Giddyap. You don’t know what you are missing.
I love this….Rumi and the moon. (Does that make me a luna-phile or a lunatic?)
It makes you luna-fantastic!
Beautiful.
Isn’t it though!?!
I hope the Rumi movie never comes to pass. It will ruin him for me… http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5796022/
Laughing. For me too Todd.
Reblogged this on Bright, shiny objects! and commented:
Ahhh. Rumi…
The magic of the moon shadow cast over vast wilderness illuminates.. exposing…while my mind’s eye sees a high-lighted, section of the lake that looks like a spot on a map, inviting to explore, gifting an enchanting gateway to solitude, experience, memory…fueling, soul.
beautiful. there is nothing like a moon shadow in the woods….
Great post. Thanks for this. My latest post is on Rumi. Check it out if you have time!
