The Ocean In Me Greets the Ocean In Him

Quote by: Rumi (You are not a drop in the ocean but an entire ocean in one drop) Beaten and whipped scoured and wrung like a dish cloth am I inside this night gown the sweat and grime of a lifetime am I ?

Good Morning Mystic. This is a masterpiece and extraordinary poetic entry of free verse to which you do her proud. Truly. It was an honor turning to this entry and your page this morning. Sit back and re-read your words and you will see the worth of it all. And yes Mystic, this is an entry to be read out loud with emphasis and feeling. Have a wonderful day and weekend. Blessings (smile)
