Water and the Moon


There is a path from me to you
that I am constantly looking for

so I try to keep clear and still
as water does with the moon.

    the available listening ear, the seeing eye, the feeling body, the mindless mind. steven

    I love this idea of keeping clear and still

    as water...

    I once sat in a boat on a lake at midnight. The water was so still, it looked like I could pluck stars from the lake's bottom.

    It was beautiful.

    Does anybody know if it's possible to trace the original persian text of this part of a poem?
    I would love to have the original text of this 4 translated lines

    sometimes the only way to reflect on the brightest things in our life is to be still so we can see them with clarity

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
