Beauty

Beauty

lies not in things as they are..
beauty lies in That which
we are...







“Truth may seem, but cannot be;
Beauty brag, but 'tis not she:
Truth and beauty buriéd be.”
~~ William Shakespeare



That Sun
Whatever you love here in existence
Has been gold-plated by God's qualities;
When that gold goes back to Origin
Only a dull copper will remain,
And you will be disgusted and reject it.
Don’t go on calling counterfeit coin "beautiful"
That beauty you love is only borrowed.
Gold will abandon all surfaces in the end
And return to the Mine of Magnificence.
Why not set out for that Mine?
The light will return from the wall to the sun;
Go now to that Sun that dances always in harmony.
From now on, take your water from heaven directly
Why go on trusting a rusting drainpipe?
~~ Rumi
