helps of late...

rumi says things in ways that i wish i could...here's my favorite of late...

I called through your door,
"The mystics are gathering
in the street. Come out!"

"Leave me alone.
I'm sick."

"I don't care if you're dead!
Jesus is here, and he wants
to resurrect somebody!"

In disciplined silence it opens.
With wandering talk it closes.
