You think the shadow is the substance.
In the house of lovers, the music never stops, the walls are made of songs & the floor dances
Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full.
You may learn to imitate a birdcall, but do you experience what the nightingale feels for the rose?
Whosoever knoweth the power of the dance, dwelleth in God.
If your knowledge of fire has been turned to certainty by words alone, then seek to be cooked by the fire itself. Don't abide in borrowed certainty. There is no real certainty until you burn; if you wish for this, sit down in the fire.
