The Origin of the World


Human beings seem to derive
from this planet, but essentially
we are the origin of the world.

A tiny gnat's outward form
flies about in pain and wanting,
while the gnat's inward nature
includes the entire galactic
whirling of the universe.

At the request of a Rumi Reader, I have enabled comments, because I agree that someone, sometime might want to write about the power of Rumi's words. So many times they have met me in ways I just have to share, and so I want you to have that opportunity here. There is no expectation for comments, but please do write something if you feel the urge. ~ Ruth
