BEGIN

 

This is now.  Now is,
all there is.  Don't wait for Then;
strike the spark, light the fire.

 

Sit at the Beloved's table,
feast with gusto, drink your fill

 

then dance
the way branches
of jasmine and cypress
dance in a spring wind.

 

The green earth
is your cloth;
tailor your robe
with dignity and grace.

 

~ Rumi ~
