Beyonce finally showed off her newborn twins, Sir and Rumi, to the world in an Instagram post last Friday. As you probably know, the internet exploded.
The chosen names are unique, to say the least, but we expected nothing less from the star. So Beyonce's mother, Tina Knowles Lawson, posted an Instagram of her own to explain what the name "Rumi" means.
"This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.
Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi is a best-selling poet in the United States, according to the BBC. You have most likely read his poems before without even realizing. The quotes specifically from Lawson's Instagram are about building yourself in order to welcome love into your life. This concept is a theme of Jay Z's new album, 4:44 and a theme of Beyonce's Lemonade.
Welcome to the world, Sir and Rumi Carter!
