Be helpless, dumbfounded, <br />Unable to say yes or no. <br />Then a stretcher will come from grace <br />To gather us up. <br /> <br />We are too dull-eyed to see that beauty <br />If we say we can, we’re lying. <br />If we say No, we don’t see it, <br />That No will behead us <br />And shut tight our window onto spirit. <br /> <br />So let us rather not be sure of anything, <br />Besides ourselves, and only that, so <br />Miraculous beings come running to help. <br />Crazed, lying in a zero circle, mute, <br />We shall be saying finally, <br />With tremendous eloquence, Lead us. <br />When we have totally surrendered to that beauty, <br />We shall be a mighty kindness.<br /><br />Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/zero-circle/
