I\u00a0picked up \u00a0my Essential Rumi\u00a0this morning and it opened to this page. What’s one to do to stop the burn and\u00a0stop the smoking? \ud83d\ude09 Only Rumi can tell it like it is! Love passion and energy.<\/p>\n
BONDFIRE AT MIDNIGHT<\/p>\n
A shout comes out of my room<\/p>\n
where I’ve been cooped up.<\/p>\n
After all my lust and dead living I can still live with you.<\/p>\n
You want me to.<\/p>\n
You fix and bring me food.<\/p>\n
You forget the way I’ve been.<\/p>\n
The ocean moves and surges in the heat<\/p>\n
of the middle of the day,<\/p>\n
in the heat of this thought I’m having.<\/p>\n
Why aren’t all human resistances burning up with this thought?<\/p>\n
It’s a drum and arms waving.<\/p>\n
It’s a bonfire at midnight on the top edge of a hill,<\/p>\n
this meeting again with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
