Everything in the universe
is a pitcher brimming
with wisdom and beauty.

Moonlight floods the whole sky
from horizon to horizon;
How much it can fill your room
depends on its windows.

There are thousands of wines
that can take over our minds.
Don't think all ecstasies are the same

Look past your thoughts,
so you may drink
the pure nectar of This Moment.

If I can only recount
the story of my life
right out of my body
flames will grow.

The soul is here
for its own joy.

Rumi
