stigmata, Monotype of the Day #575

Day 205 of Year 2 (Actually Day 210)

Making last night's bird felt like talking with an old friend so I brought him back tonight. I found tonight's poem on the internet. It is attributed to Rumi but I can't find any citation of where it came from so that may or may not be true. However, it's a beautiful thought so I share it here tonight below the title.

Attributed to Rumi
I said: what about my eyes?
He said: Keep them on the road.

I said: What about my passion?
He said: Keep it burning.

I said: What about my heart?
He said: Tell me what you hold inside it?

I said: Pain and sorrow.
He said: Stay with it. The wound is the place where the Light enters you.
