Double Eye
You've given me your terrible Double Eye
That sees all things as empty and as You.
You scathe all flesh to bone, flame bone to Light
How could I survive such horror, and splendour?
- Jalal-ud-Din Rumi
Rumi is right on these days.

Wow. "Sees all things as empty and as You." Pretty much nailed it, I'd say. He sure says a lot in a very few words. Just so matter of fact, too. I love that about him.
ReplyDeleteIt seems I can't comment as myself. Blogger is having issues.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite poems has him saying - you might think I say a lot, writing all these poems. But the true me has never said a word.
