So much beauty along the trail during yesterday's hike.You've no idea how hard
I've looked for a gift to bring You.
Nothing seemed right!
What's the point of bringing gold
to the gold mine,
or water to the ocean?
Everything I came up with
was like taking spices to the orient.
It's no good giving
my heart and my soul,
because You already have these.
So - I've brought You a mirror
Look at YourSelf and remember me.
- Jalaluddin Rumi
Beautiful... What a gift? Loved it every word of it..

ReplyDeleteHere's a poem by Rumi that I love (tres romantic):
When I am with you, we stay up all night,
When you're not here, I can't get to sleep.
Praise God for these two insomnias!
And the difference between them.
Thanks for the beautiful post. What a nice pause for the day. Thanks. BTW, I'm trying anonymous because I haven't been able to leave a comment lately. Gram
ReplyDeleteSunshine,

Thanks for commenting, even if it has to be anonymous. I kind of like the mysteriousness of it all!
Rumi has become one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCarol: Dunno what's wrong with the commenting ability. I even googled the problem and didn't get much help. I was supposed to clear my cache of cookies and try again. Now why would I want to dispose of cookies? ;-) It's not just with your site, I've been dropping signed anonymous comments here and there around the globe. Some sites let me through depending on the blog host. Mystery Gram.
