athenaltenaJust perusing through Rumi and ran across this one, which spoke to some part of me:
Looking for Love
A strange passion is moving in my head
My heart has become a bird
which searches in the sky
Every part of me goes in different directions
Is it really so
that the one I love is everywhere?
- Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi
So much said with so little... I might just be becoming a Rumi-holic. They might sound cheesy if you think about them -- but in the right state of mind they're like Zen koans. So perhaps the silver lining of that English discussion was to get me to break out the little Rumi volume I bought last year. :)
