❀
What is your life about, anyway?
Nothing but a struggle to be someone.
Nothing but a running from your own silence.
❀
Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy,
absentminded. Someone sober
will worry about things going badly.
Let the lover be.
❀
[ This We Have Now ]
This we have now
is not imagination.
This is not
grief or joy.
Not a judging state,
or an elation,
or sadness.
Those come and go.
This is the presence that doesn't.
❀
[ Rumi ]
