We were green: we ripened and grew golden. The Sea terrified us: we learned how to drown. Squat and earthbound, we unfolded huge wings. We started sober: are love's startled drunkards. You hide me in your cloak of nothingness Reflect my ghost in your glass of being I am nothing, yet appear: transparent dream Where your eternity briefly trembles.
RumiAnd patience flees my heart, And reason flees my mind. Oh, how drunk can I get to be, Without your love's security?
RumiOn a day when the wind is perfect, the sail just needs to open and the world is full of beauty. Today is such a day.
Rumi
