On a day
when the wind is perfect,
the sail just needs to open and the world is full of beauty.
Today is such a
day.

My eyes are like the sun that makes promises:
the promise of life
that it always
keeps

each morning.

The living heart gives to us as does that luminous sphere,
both caress the earth with great
tenderness.

There is a breeze that can enter the soul.
This love I know plays a drum. Arms move around me;
who can contain their self before my beauty?

Peace is wonderful,
but ecstatic dance is more fun, and less narcissistic;
gregarious He makes our lips.

On a day when the wind is perfect,
the sail just needs to open
and the love starts.

Today is such
a day.

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi. “On A Day When The Wind is Perfect.” From Love Poems From God by Daniel Ladinsky.

Everyday
I see or hear
something
that more or less
kills me
with delight. . .
It was what I was born for —
to look, to listen,
to lose myself
inside this soft world —

Mary Oliver. From “Listen.”
