\"sunset<\/a>Rumi says:<\/strong> On the day I die, don\u2019t say he\u2019s gone. Death has nothing to do with going away.\u00a0 The sun sets, and the moon sets but they\u2019re not gone.\u00a0 Death is a coming together.\u00a0 The human seed goes down into the ground like a bucket, and comes up with some unimagined beauty. Your mouth closes here, and immediately opens with a shout of joy there.
\nRumi says:<\/strong> A moment of happiness, you and I sitting on the verandah, apparently two, but one in soul, you and I. We feel the flowing water of life here, you and I, with the garden\u2019s beauty and the birds singing. The parrots of heaven will be cracking sugar as we laugh together, you and I. In one form upon this earth, and in another form in a timeless sweet land.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n
