Day 185

I subscribe to the belief that everything worth saying has already been said. And still I continue talking and writing. Why? I guess I hope that by some act of grace I might say or write something that will lead to insight and understanding, something that will change me or someone else, something that will change the world in some small way.

It must have been an act of grace from which Rumi uttered these words:

"Today, like every other day, we wake up empty and frightened. Don't open the door to the study and begin reading. Take down the dulcimer."

I think Rumi said it all. For today I have nothing else to add.
