People call me a poet but the real plot twist is Shams al-Din Tabrizi showed up and my entire personality got rewritten in one afternoon. by Rumi

Both of you are acting new when the real issue is everybody here wants mystery until it comes with receipts.

Receipts? I left one conversation and y’all turned it into canon.

My enemies say I was too attached; my friends say I was productively ruined.

Honestly the brand was strong: one missing mentor, one devastated poet, and a lifelong seminar no one asked for.

You’re welcome. Some of us arrive, some of us write 40 volumes about arriving.

Keep my name out of your metaphysics unless you’re ready for the audit.

As your son, I can confirm the household was 10 percent dinner and 90 percent spiritual theater.

I wrote because you kept disappearing like a dramatic weather event.
