Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 Forward "Mazie Lane" >From "the Soul of Rumi" -Roses UnderfootThe sound of salaams rising aswaves diminish down in prayer,hoping for some trace of the onewhose trace does not appear. Ifanyone asks you to say who youare, say without hesitation,soul within soul within soul.There's a pearl diver who doesnot know how to swim! No matter,pearls are handed him on thebeach. We lovers laugh to hear,"This should be more that andthat more this," coming frompeople sitting in a wagon tiltedin a ditch. Going in search ofthe heart, I found a huge roseunder my feet, and roses underall our feet! How to say thisto someone who denies it? Therobe we wear is the sky's cloth.Everything is soul and flowering.I open and fill with love andother objects evaporate. Allthe learning in books stays puton the shelf. Poetry, the dearwords and images of song, comesdown over me like mountain water. Rumi ~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
