  5 Copy quote

• Be 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, we’re lying. If we say No, we don’t 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.

• The Silk Worm
  
  I stood before a silk worm one day.
  And that night my heart said to me,
  
  "I can do things like that, I can spin skies,
  I can be woven into love that can bring warmth to people;
  I can be soft against a crying face,
  I can be wings that lift, and I can travel on my thousand feet
  throughout the earth, my sacs filled with the sacred."
  
  And I replied to my heart,
  "Dear, can you really do all those things?"
  
  And it just nodded "Yes" in silence.
  
  So we began and will never cease.

  Rumi

  Love, Heart, Night
