Rainy day Rumi-nation

This poem of his is badass, and as mystery school would have it, my Rumi book is being borrowed at the moment but Lucialis was smart enough to know that (even oceans apart) and fed me my daily dose of Rumi. This is one of my favorites, by far...it should be recited by children in gradeschool everyday, instead of the dreaded drone-sounding "Pledge of Agrievance"

Keep walking, though there’s no place to get to.
Don’t try to see through the distances.
That’s not for human beings.
Move within, but don’t move the way fear makes you move.

Today, like every other day, we wake up empty & frightened.
Don’t open the door to the study and begin reading.
Take down a musical instrument.

Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.
-- Rumi
