others to better express myself.

we cease to believe in the unknowable.
But there it sits nevertheless,

* Some nights, stay up till dawn
As the moon sometimes does for the sun.

of a well then lifted out into the light.

makes boredom and hurt disappear.
Someone fills the cup in front of us.
We taste only sacredness. Jalal ad-Din ar-
Rumi Persian (c. 1207-1273)
