There's a hidden sweetness in the stomach's emptiness. We are lutes, no more, no less. If the soundbox is stuffed full of anything, no music.... When you're full of food and drink, Satan sits where your spirit should.

RumiAnd he misses her Like a wind starved sail He sits knowing what direction to go But the current keeps pulling him Down river.
