Keeping Our Own Minds
RCTU #81

Present Time No. 108 

(Vol. 29 No. 3) July 1997

 

The cloud weeps, and then the garden sprouts.
The baby cries, and the mother's milk flows.
The nurse of creation has said,
Let them cry a lot.

This rain-weeping and sun-burning twine together to make us grow. Keep your intelligence white-hot and your grief glistening, so your life will stay fresh.
Cry easily like a little child.

Rumi
a thirteenth-century Sufi poet
