Believe in Yourself, a Poem by Rumi









All this ocean around you,
yet you want more moisture?
All this life ahead of you,
yet you just want to die?

You're a decent person,
you makes everyone around yourself happy
Why do you have to keep on drinking so much?
You're blessed with high intellect and rational logic.
Blessed by all that talent,
why do you always sell yourself so cheap?

What a pity,
you only rely on a few books to gain full knowledge of life.
What a pity,
you only seek the sweetness of life from a candy.
You're an ocean of knowledge,
yet still hiding behind your excuses of moisture.
You are a full grown adult,
yet still hiding
behind the high walls of your childish doubts.

Do you really need listening or group therapy
to learn and appreciate
what you already have in life?
Look at your soul
how it's also shackled and imprisoned
inside your own dark cage of pessimism
along with you.

How sad,
you are a shining bright sun
yet still trapped
inside the dark prison of
your own inferiority complexes.

A simple atom makes its way all the way to the sun.
If an atom could it, so can you.
Go get some needed help!

A simple drop of wine makes it all the way to the Divine Jar.
If a drop could do it, so can you.
Go drink from that Jar!
Rumi

Rumi and Shakespeare

By Wes Jamroz, excerpts from his new book, Shakespeare's Sequel to Rumi's Teaching "Jalaluddin Rumi and William Shakespeare are considered to be the greatest poets of Persian and English literature, respectively. However, there is much more in common between these two titans of poetry who lived some 350 years and 2,000 miles apart. In his Sonnets, Shakespeare acknowledged that his writings were inspired by Rumi�s poetry. He referred to Rumi as one of �Alien pens� whom he was asked to study. He described Rumi as �He of tall building, and of goodly pride�. Shakespeare admitted that Rumi�s verses were so powerful that they were stopping his thoughts before he was able to formulate them. Although Shakespeare was strongly influenced by Rumi�s poetry, it should be emphasized that his writings were not merely some adaptations of Rumi�s illustrations from an Eastern environment into the Western culture. Such understanding would greatly diminish Shakespeare�s role. Shakespeare wa...
