"I" ...























"I" ...

This is your name
And mine..
With reflection 
We might see that
The fullness which
Seems to fill us
With sorrows and joys
Does not exceed the
Endless extensions of

"I" ...





Neither I, nor some other "I," needs to tell you,
you who are also I.
Just as when you fall asleep,
you leave the presence of yourself
to enter another presence of yourself.
You hear something from yourself
and imagine that someone else
has secretly spoken to you in a dream.
But you are not a single "you,"
my friend----you are the wide sky and the deep sea.
Your awesome "You," which is nine hundredfold,
is where a hundred of your you's will drown.”
~ Rumi
