| Bio: | Listen to the story told by the reed, of being separated. "Since I was cut from the reedbed, I have made this crying sound. Anyone apart from someone he loves understands what I say. Anyone pulled from a sourcelongs to go back. At any gathering I am there, mingling in the laughing and grieving, a friend to each, but few will hear the secrets hidden / within the notes. No ears for that. Body flowing out of spirit, spirit up from body: no concealing / that mixing. But it's not given us to see the soul. The reed flute is fire, not wind. Be that empty." Hear the love-fire tangled in the reed notes, as bewilderment melts into wine. The reed is a friend to all who want the fabric torn and drawn away. The reed is hurt and salve combining. Intimacy and longing for intimacy, one song A disastrous surrender, and a fine love, together. The one who secretly hears this is senseless. A tongue has one customer, the ear. If a sugarcane flute had no effect, it would not have been able to make sugar in the reedbed. Whatever sound it makes is for everyone. Days full of wanting, let them go by without worrying that they do. Stay where you are, inside such a pure, hollow note. Every thirst gets satisfied except that of these fish, the mystics, who swim an ocean of grace still somehow longing for it! No one lives in that without being nourished every day. But if someone doesn't want to hear the song of the reed flute, it's best to cut conversation short, say goodbye, and leave. --Version by Coleman Barks. From "Say I Am You: Rumi" (Athens, Georgia: Maypop Books, 1994, pp. 48-49); re-printed in "The Essential Rumi," pp. 17-19. ------------------------------------------- Wolverhampton has this one saying "Out of Darkness cometh the Light" and its possibly the one nice thing i've taken away from my birthplace.My heart belongs to Scotland. Try not to give in on life, even if it seems at its darkest. Courage is stronger than fear. Don't ever stop fighting for what you believe in. Just start questioning whether its worth believing in. You are only as good as the friends that you choose to have around you. Finally, a smile takes you a very long way. I have very bad habits but my honesty is my worst.  ----------------------------------------------- I have a tendency to post a large amount of photos from time to time. I write stories and learn languages, drink coffee, watch films and travel lots. I'm not an interesting person at all, but my friends are. ----------------- I'm a bit of an eclectic person with a fondness for exotic literature, music and languages. | |||||
