.......Still on Rumi




                      You are all mixed up.
                    For the sake of position,
         you come with reverence before the blind
                       and wait in the hall;
         but in the presence of those who can see,
                 you behave with disrespect.
   No wonder you've become fuel for the fire of desire.

A Daybreak of Spiritual Guidance,
