Hoping to Be More Alive


You are an ocean in a drop of dew,
all the universes in a thin sack of blood.

What are these pleasures then,
these joys, these worlds
that you keep reaching for,
hoping they will make you more alive?

  1. oh they're here, they're there

    it's just they're very few

    they are around, as I have heard

    Stormy spoken words that stiffen

    sometimes come from you

  2. I do not know, this time, which moves me more, Rumi's exquisite words or your exquisite photo. Thank you. I know that I am going to need this in daylight.

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
