running.

[i_am_mia]

My life is starting to run off, and I almost feel like I'm being left behind.  Haha.... it's just that there's so much going on, and I seem to be doing it all, but when I step back and think about it it feels overwhelming.  So I guess I'll just let it do it's own thing.  Luckily, all these activities involve things I love: math, music and the Baha'i Faith.

I really don't feel worthy for the last one, but I swear I'm going to really try.

Argh, Burn's Crowded Door Symdrome.... nothing's coming out tonight.

So I'll just leave it at this:

Today, like every other day, we wake up empty
and frightened. Don't open the door to the study
and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument.
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don't go back to sleep.

I would love to kiss you.
The price of kissing is your life.
Now my loving is running toward my life shouting,
What a bargain, let's buy it.

Daylight, full of small dancing particles
and the one great turning, our souls
are dancing with you, without feet, they dance.
Can you see them when I whisper in your ear?

All day and night, music,
a quiet, bright
reedsong. If it
fades, we fade.

-Jalaluddin Rumi
