God looks after fools

[Plato's Stepchild @MattRob78281471]

"Plato contemplates the encounter with beauty as the salutary emotional shock that makes man leave his shell...

In a Platonic sense...the arrow of nostalgia pierces man, wounds him...gives him wings, and lifts him upwards towards the transcendent."

- Joseph Ratzinger

The Sufis are in the world but not of the world; in Sufi terminology this is called khalwat dar anjuman (seclusion in the midst of the crowd).

In search of a pond

one hop, after another,

down the way to home.

The forest stirs with

the symphonies of new life

all under heaven.

The moment to leap

is apparent to keen eyes

who have been watching
