A Quote from Rumi

I've always loved Rumi's poetry and a lot of Sufi poetry in general so I thought I'd share a quote for today.

In this narrow cage, your soul has long trembeld,
The bird from heaven drops to the earth,
Its lament will eventually open the door of mercy.
Beat your wings against the door and against the roof; this is the key.

Diwan- Ode 791
