A Soft Wind. What Are You Looking For, My Friend?

by Jon Katz

There was a soft wind today, it was strong at times, but never harsh, it was one of those winds that caress.

I read this Rumi poem as I sat in front of my computer after dinner:

“What are you looking for, my friend,

completely absorbed in the affairs of this world?

Unless you strive for Spirit your bread will remain

unbaked and your destiny unfulfilled.

Do not waste your life decorating your gravestone.

Instead dig a grave and bury your ego, surrender to Him

so His breath may replenish your  being.”

– Rumi
