Poem: Rumi - "One Who Can Quit Seeing Himself"

One Who Can Quit Seeing Himself I look for one simple and open enough to see the Friend, not an intelligence weighing several perspectives. I want an empty shell to hold this pearl, not a stone who pretends to have a secret center, when the surface is all through. I want one who can quit seeing himself, fill with God and, instead of being irritated by interruption and daily resentments, feel those as kindness. Gateway to Silence "I am a hole in a flute that the Christ's breath moves through." --Hafiz
