On Rumi... These writers are not Sufis, but they reach for the same insight Rumi gives in Persian: love is not โ€œfound,โ€ it is already the unity of souls. 1. John Donne โ€“ *The Good-Morrow* (c. 1600)** > *โ€œIf ever any beauty I did see, > Which I desired, and got, โ€™twas but a dream of thee.โ€* ๐Ÿ’ก Donne says every other love was but a shadow; the beloved was always the true source. --- ### **2. Sir Philip Sidney โ€“ *Astrophil and Stella* (Sonnet 69, 1580s)** > *โ€œMy true-love hath my heart, and I have his, > By just exchange one for the other given.โ€* ๐Ÿ’ก Like Rumi: the lovers already *inhabit one another*. --- ### **3. George Herbert โ€“ *The Temple* (1633)** > *โ€œWhere shall my soul her inward harbour find? > For I, except Thou show me, cannot see.โ€* ๐Ÿ’ก A devotional echo: the soul already belongs to God, awaiting recognition โ€” parallel to Rumiโ€™s inner union. --- ### **4. Edmund Spenser โ€“ *Amoretti* Sonnet 75 (1595)** > *โ€œOur love shall live, and later life renew.โ€* ๐Ÿ’ก Love transcends time and outward form; an eternal abiding. --- ### **5. Donne again โ€“ *A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning* (1611)** > *โ€œOur two souls therefore, which are one, > Though I must go, endure not yet > A breach, but an expansion, > Like gold to airy thinness beat.โ€* ๐Ÿ’ก The lovers are already one soul, distance cannot undo them. #rumi #bitcoinknots #bitcoin #nostr #anarchyโ’ถ #decentralisation #freedomtech #blockchain #freepalestine ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ
