The splendor of Union...

When you see a pearl on the bottom,
you reach through the foam and broken sticks
on the surface.

When the sun comes up, you forget
about locating the constellation of Scorpio.

When you see the splendor of union,
the attractions of duality seem poignant
and lovely, but much less interesting.


- Rumi
