From Dark to Light

The magic in this Rumi poem lives in its simplicity. Everyday words are elevated as they connect to each other. Together they invite us to seek our unique interpretation.

Moving into Spring, what do they say to you?

---

Be a full bucket pulled up the dark way of a well,

then lifted out into the light.

Stars burn clear all night.

Do that yourself,

and a spring will rise in the dark

with water your deepest thirst is for.

~ Rumi
