I wait
with silent passion
for one gesture
one glance
from you.

And while we are waiting for Rumi’s “one glance” or “one gesture”, we might as well have a look at the beauty of nature around us in spring, or read a good book. We need to be pragmatic and save time, he he he ….

Oh, I see! Then I misunderstood Rumi. I thought he was waiting for a woman’s glance or gesture. Well, he might have to wait a very long time for that, because some women are truly coquettish, even cruel. They like to play “cat and mouse” with men. Of course, God’s love, that is quite a different matter. In God we trust!

I need to study Rumi’s spirituality. I know too little about him and his work but I find his verses fascinating and very moving. They touch the soul.

One thing I always noticed that great saints explain almost similar thoughts, even though they are from different religious faith. Rumi is one of them. His verses are deep and meaningful.

That’s true. Rumi’s words are deep. I suppose we have to study Sufism to fully understand them.
