on the lip...
Jelaluddin Rumi
I have lived on the lip
of insanity, wanting to know reasons,
knocking on a door. It opens.
I’ve been knocking from the inside!

I roam the whole universe from here. - Han-shan

Don - I can't say enough good things about LR. Such a wonderful venue. Thanks for the read.
It all begins on the inside, Erika. It is a powerful piece, and typical of Rumi's ability to motivate.
I appreciate the read & visit, G.
