"I would love to kiss you.
The price of kissing is your life.

Now my loving is running toward my life shouting,
What a bargain, let's buy it."

    My mother often comes home with stacks of books to post for this website that we belong to - a book swapping site. The other day, i was going through the books she had posted, and, i found one that was all Rumi - and i got upset, HOW COULD SHE POST THIS & NOT GIVE IT TO ME?? i told her that she needed to stop doing this, to let me go through the books before hand, so that i could take the ones that are awesome. She always forgets, so she says, but more than likely i think she just doesn't want me to have more piles of books all over.
    Anyway, this is the Rumi book....
