Essence of the One
‘The beauty of the heart is the lasting beauty…’
The Beauty of the Heart
“The beauty of the heart
is the lasting beauty:
its lips give to drink
of the water of life.
Truly it is the water,
that which pours,
and the one who drinks.
All three become one when
your talisman is shattered.
That oneness you can’t know
by reasoning.”
-Jalal al-Din Rumi
…
What lasts beyond this body, beyond this life?
The heart that opens, or the love that moves in to fill it?
And from where that love flows is
the Essence of the One.
