O Love, O pure deep Love, be here, be now, Be all โ worlds dissolve into your stainless endless radiance, Frail living leaves burn with your brighter than cold stares โ Make me your servant, your breath, your core.
RumiLoaves of bread remind us of sunlight, but when we are inside that orb,we lose interest in building ovens,in millwork and the preparation of fields before the planting.
RumiBe helpless, dumbfounded, Unable to say yes or no. Then a stretcher will come from grace to gather us up. We are too dull-eyed to see that beauty. If we say we can, weโre lying. If we say No, we donโt see it, That No will behead us And shut tight our window onto spirit. So let us rather not be sure of anything, Beside ourselves, and only that, so Miraculous beings come running to help. Crazed, lying in a zero circle, mute, We shall be saying finally, With tremendous eloquence, Lead us. When we have totally surrendered to that beauty, We shall be a mighty kindness.
Rumi
