Oh, I *love* Rumi. I used to never understand what he was trying to say. But now that I've studied some eastern religions a little bit, he makes beautiful sense to me. Usually by knocking my usual perceptions off kilter a bit. I have two other of his poem fragments on the wall in my office:
"Stop the words now.
Open the window in the center of your chest,
And let the spirits fly in and out."
and
"I have lived on the lip of insanity,
Wanting to know reasons, knocking on the door.
It opens.
I've been knocking from the inside!"
