A Star Without a Name

 

 

 

When a baby is taken from the wet nurse,

 

it easily forgets her

 

and starts eating solid food.

 

 

 

Seeds feed awhile on ground,

 

then lift up into the sun.

 

 

 

So you should taste the filtered light

 

and work your way toward wisdom

 

with no personal covering.

 

 

 

That's how you came here, like a star

 

without a name. Move across the night sky

 

with those anonymous lights.

 

 

 

(Mathnawi III, 1284-1288)
