The Call of Love

Lesson 34: The Call of Love

Each moment from all sides rushes to us the call to love.
We are running to contemplate its vast green field.
Do you want to come with us?
This is not the time to stay at home,
but to go out and give yourself to the rose garden.
The dawn of joy has arisen,
and this is the moment of vision.

- Jalal-ud-Din Rumi
