Husam, tell about the visions of Daquqi,
who said, I have traveled east and west
not knowing which way I was going,
following the moon, lost inside God.
Someone asked, Why do you go barefooted
over the stones and thorns.
What, he answered. What.
A bewildered lover does not walk on feet.
He or she walks on love. There are no "long"
or "short" trips for those. No time.
The body learned from spirit how to travel.
A saint's body moves in the unconditioned way,
though it seems to be in conditionedness.
Daquqi said, One day I was going along
looking to see in people the shining of the Friend.
I came to the shore at twilight and saw
seven candles. I hurried along the beach
toward them. I was amazed. My amazement was amazed.
Waves of bewilderment broke over my head.
