What the material world values does <br />not shine the same in the truth of the soul. <br /> <br />You have been interested <br />in your shadow. Look instead directly at the sun. <br /> <br />What can we know by just <br />watching the time-and-space shapes of each other? <br /> <br /> <br />Someone half awake in the night sees imaginary dangers; <br /> <br />the morning star rises; the horizon grows <br />defined; people become friends in a moving caravan. <br /> <br /> <br />Night birds may think <br />daybreak a kind of darkness, because <br />that's all they know. <br /> <br /> <br />It's a fortunate <br />bird who's not intrigued with evening, <br />who flies in the sun we call Shams.<br /><br />Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/not-intrigued-with-evening/
