Look!
look at spirit how it fuses with earth giving it new life
why are you so busy with this or that or good or bad
pay attention to how things blend
why talk about all the known and the unknown
see how the unknown merges into the known
why think seperately of this life and the next
when one is born from the last look at your heart and tongue
one feels but deaf and dumb the other speaks in words and signs
look at water and fire earth and wind enemies and friends
all at once the wolf and the lamb the lion and the deer
far away yet together look at the unity of this spring and winter
manifested in the equinox
Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi
Translated by Nader Khalili "Rumi, Fountain of Fire" 1994
