from Rumi

You've no idea how hard I've looked for a gift to bring You.

Nothing seemed right.

What's the point of bringing gold to the gold mine,

or water to the Ocean.

Everything I came up with

was like taking spices to the Orient.

It's no good giving my heart and my soul because

you already have these.

So

I've brought you a mirror.

Look at yourself and

remember me.

- Jalaluddin Rumi -
