the gift of drifting

You've no idea how hard I've looked for a gift to bring You.

Nothing seemed right.

 

What's the point of bringing gold to the gold mine, or water to the Ocean.

Everything I came up with was like taking spices to the Orient.

 

It's no good giving my heart and my soul because you already have these.

 

So- I've brought you a mirror.

 

Look at yourself and remember me.

 

- Jalaluddin Rumi, Essential Rumi, Coleman Barks, pg141
