across the garden, free medecine for everybody.
The trees in their prayer, the birds in praise,
the first blue violets kneeling.

forgetting the way back.

How beautiful! I've not seen this poem by Rumi before, but it certainly will find a place in my heart now. Thank you! And doesn't the air smell good today - it smells like poetry!

I love Rumi's writings so much. This is wonderful "Whatever came from Being is caught up in being, drunkenly forgetting the way back". I'd love to be caught up in being. It happens so infrequently.
