Empty

Margate Harbour, Joseph Mallord William Turner

When you are with everyone but me,
you are with no one.

When you are with no one but me,
you are with everyone.

Instead of being so bound up with everyone,
be everyone.

When you become that many,
you are nothing. Empty.

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
