Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.

I like the imagery of this- the thought that came to my mind was a vast field of symbolizing the gray areas of life or all the possibilities.
Absolutely. That’s what struck me too 🙂

Yes, Rumi’s quotes are little nuggets of wisdom. Not sure how much gets lost in translation, but I’m thankful for it all the same. 🙂
This is lovely. I had to read it a couple of times which of course is the best way to read a poem. Getting ready for National Poetry Month in April!
I remember you mentioning April for poetry. I am trying to think of what other poetry I can get my hands on, and looking forward to the stuff you read!
