well, since yesterday I found myself mentioning Rumi and Saudi in the same breath (something not easy to do), it seems it's time for a bit of Rumi himself. I especially like this Rumi "poem" because of what it might say about bloggers, blogger communities and other possible digital sufis.
Search the Darkness
Sit with your friends, don't go back to sleep.
Don't sink like a fish to the bottom of the sea.
Surge like an ocean, don't scatter yourself like a storm.
Life's waters flow from darkness. Search the darkness, don't run from it.
Night travelers are full of light, and you are too: don't leave this companionship.
Be a wakeful candle in a golden dish, don't slip into the dirt like quicksilver.
The moon appears for night travelers, be watchful when the moon is full.
