Birds make great sky-circles of their freedom. How do they learn it? They fall and falling, they're given wings. - Rumi

Soul, if you want to learn secrets,
your heart must forget about
shame and dignity.
You are God's lover,
yet you worry
what people
are saying.

We gather at night to celebrate
being human. Sometimes we call out low
to the tambourine. Fish drink the sea,
but the sea does not get smaller! We
eat the clouds and evening light. We
are slaves tasting the royal wine.

Friend, our closeness is this : Anywhere
you put your foot, feel me in the firmness
under you.

How is it with this love,
I see your world, but not you?
