A view by Rumi 

 

When grapes

turn to wine,

they long for

our ability to change.

 

When stars

wheel around the North Pole,

they are longing for

our growing consciousness.

 

Wine got drunk

with us,

not the other way.

The body developed

out of us,

not we from it.

 

We are bees,

and our body is a honeycomb.

We made

the body,

cell by cell

we made it.

 

Rumi
