Petals

Selections from the  poetry of Rumi

" Even when you tear its petals off one after another,

  the rose keeps laughing and doesn’t bend in pain.

  "Why should I be afflicted because of a thorn?

  It is the thorn which taught me how to laugh."

  Whatever you lost through fate,

  be certain that it saved you from pain. "
