Rumi


Who dared say that the immortal one met his death?
Who dared say that the Sun of hope had set?
Lo! an enemy of the Sun came up to the roof,
Closed his two eyes and exclaimed the sun had set!

Struggle

One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose
sight of the shore for a very long time.

Busy Week


This is been a very busy week, running around all over the place looking for a new house to shift too. Apparently the landlord wants this house for one of his cousins. Finally today found a house decent enough to move into. The rents have gone up like crazy. So now its moving time, i'll be busy next 3-4 days with shifting and stuff. And I dont know how long it will take to get the internet connection transferred there, It may take anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks. If its 3 days I can bear it, but if its 2 weeks i'll start getting withdrawl symptoms, and it will become extremely difficult for me to survive. Lets hope its 3 days. So I don't know if i'll be posting here regularly.

Mystic - Sylvia Plath


The air is a mill of hooks----
Questions without answer,
Glittering and drunk as flies
Whose kiss stings unbearably
In the fetid wombs of black air under pines in summer.

I remember
The dead smell of sun on wood cabins,
The stiffness of sails, the long salt winding sheets.
Once one has seen God, what is the remedy?
Once one has been seized up

Without a part left over,
Not a toe, not a finger, and used,
Used utterly, in the sun's conflagration, the stains
That lengthen from ancient cathedrals
What is the remedy?

The pill of the Communion tablet,
The walking beside still water? Memory?
Or picking up the bright pieces
Of Christ in the faces of rodents,
The tame flower-nibblers, the ones

Whose hopes are so low they are comfortable-----
The humpback in his small, washed cottage
Under the spokes of the clematis.
Is there no great love, only tenderness?
Does the sea

Remember the walker upon it?
Meaning leaks from the molecules.
The chimneys of the city breathe, the window sweats,
The children leap in their cots.
The sun blooms, it is a geranium.

The heart has not stopped.

Curiosity ?


See I have one huge problem if I have a question in my mind I cant rest untill I'v found the answer, same thing with names, faces and all the otherstuff. Well today on my lovely drive I noticed many construction cranes. You would too if you were living in the UAE apparently about 30% of the entire worlds cranes are working in UAE. well I'v been seeing them around and everytime they grow taller, today I tried to figure out how they grow tall with so much weight on them, and since that time in the morning till I came home I have been thinking about that. So I "googled" and finally my mind is at rest, at least untill another mind numbing question arises. If you are curious about this you can check out the answer at this website.

Rumi



Flowers every night
Blossom in the sky;
Peace in the Infinite;
At peace am I.

Sighs a hundredfold
From my heart arise;
My heart, dark and cold,
Flames with my sighs.
