RUMI:
"A moment of happiness,

you and I sitting on the verandah,

apparently two, but one in soul, you and I.

We feel the flowing water of life here,

you and I, with the garden's beauty

and the birds singing.

The stars will be watching us,

and we will show them

what it is to be a thin crescent moon.

You and I unselfed, will be together,

indifferent to idle speculation, you and I.

The parrots of heaven will be cracking sugar

as we laugh together, you and I.

In one form upon this earth,

and in another form in a timeless sweet land."


"The intellectual is always showing off,

the lover is always getting lost.

The intellectual runs away.

afraid of drowning;

the whole business of love

is to drown in the sea.

Intellectuals plan their repose;

lovers are ashamed to rest.

The lover is always alone.

even surrounded by people;

like water and oil, he remains apart.

The man who goes to the trouble

of giving advice to a lover

gets nothing. He's mocked by passion.

Love is like musk. It attracts attention.

Love is a tree, and the lovers are its shade."


"All through eternity

Beauty unveils His exquisite form

in the solitude of nothingness;

He holds a mirror to His Face

and beholds His own beauty.

he is the knower and the known,

the seer and the seen;

No eye but His own

has ever looked upon this Universe.



His every quality finds an expression:

Eternity becomes the verdant field of Time and Space;

Love, the life-giving garden of this world.

Every branch and leaf and fruit

Reveals an aspect of His perfection-

The cypress give hint of His majesty,

The rose gives tidings of His beauty.



Whenever Beauty looks,

Love is also there;

Whenever beauty shows a rosy cheek

Love lights Her fire from that flame.

When beauty dwells in the dark folds of night

Love comes and finds a heart

entangled in tresses*. (*the long unbound hair of a woman)

Beauty and Love are as body and soul.

Beauty is the mine, Love is the diamond.



They have (been) together

since the beginning of time-

Side by side, step by step."

-----------------
"Those who don't feel this Love

pulling them like a river,
those who don't drink dawn
like a cup of spring water
or take in sunset like supper,
those who don't want to change,

let them sleep.

This Love is beyond the study of theology,
that old trickery and hypocrisy.
If you want to improve your mind that way,

sleep on.

I've given up on my brain.
I've torn the cloth to shreds
and thrown it away.

If you're not completely naked,
wrap your beautiful robe of words
around you,

and sleep."

I should/could also say... any "image" of Leo is all in your head (and according to Douglas Harding, you don't actually have one ).

(Yeah, still gotta stay on the "non-dual" topic. )

November 2, 1856

I already love in you your beauty,
but I am only beginning to love in you that which is eternal and ever precious
- your heart, your soul.
Beauty one could get to know and fall in love with in one hour and cease to love it as speedily;
but the soul one must learn to know.
Believe me, nothing on earth is given without labour,
even love, the most beautiful and natural of feelings.

Count Leo Tolstoy, Russian writer, to Valeria Arsenev, his fiance

Are You In Love with a Leo ?
If you are in love with a Leo man or woman, the most important thing you can give him or her is your attention. This is one mate who will charm and caress ...
"If you are in love with a Leo man or woman, the most important thing you can give him or her is your attention. This is one mate who will charm and caress you, make passionate love with you, dance with you into the wee hours of the morning, give you the Sun, the Moon and the Stars, and all you have to do is notice! But, notice you must. It is true that most Leos need pats on the back as much as the rest of us require air to breathe. This is because, for all their vim and vigor and outward confidence, Leos are actually quite shy and vulnerable on the inside. In fact, it can be said that the louder and more brash a Leo sounds, the more insecure he or she is feeling at the time.

A Leo lover is loyal, warm, generous, and fun. This is one individual who truly knows how to have a good time, and he or she wants you to be included in it. You are a very special audience to this person and you are treated like royalty. A Leo is not particularly interested in dating just anybody and you must stand out from the crowd to garner this one's attention. He or she wants both of you to shine.

You will be appreciated even more if you don't mind letting this honey glow in the limelight. A great storyteller, this one has a natural ability to draw a crowd of beaming faces. Jealousy doesn't go over too well here. You needn't worry overly much about losing his or her affections; once a Leo gives his(her) heart, loyalty comes right along with it.

While this mate likes to make dramatic statements, ticky-tacky does not do. Gifts should be of quality and you are amazed at the ones showered upon you. Compliments keep them coming.

A fixed sign, this honey sometimes may become set in his/her ways. Personal opinions are very important to this lover and it may be hard to change this premeditated mind. Gentle persuasion works best here as well as pointing out the better aspects of his/her argument.

You can expect a lot from this lover. He or she has a way of keeping life interesting and movement and action are constant companions. If you are looking for a good time spelled F-U-N, you have certainly found it here."
