After Reading Rumi

... I felt the world open up before my eager eyes. A rusted gear from within, began to crank without compensation. An unexpressed thought, that words could not describe, but merely approximated by divine decree. A foreign emotion being made familiar; the Tower or Babel being turned on it's proverbial head. I wanted to see it all at once, the world that was just given, but handed it back instead. I treated what I learned like a four-leaf clover. May someone else pick it up again and carry on with that fragment of well wishes. In the words of Rumi, today I seek wisdom by becoming Somebody, compared to yesterday and my goals of cleverness. The world could not be changed by words alone... ... I rolled up my sleeves. NOTE: Rumi was a famous poet in the thirteenth century. His work has inspired me quite a few times. I don't know if he was Christian or not, but there was a lot of wisdom in his poetry... I'd definitely recommend him!
