Rumi: The World Is Full Of Beauty


On a day when the wind is perfect,
the sail just needs to open and the world is full of beauty.
Today is such a day.
My eyes are like the sun that makes promises;
the promise of life that it always keeps each morning.

The living heart gives to us, as does that luminous sphere;
both caress the earth with great tenderness.

This is a breeze that can enter the soul.
This love I know plays a drum. Arms move around me;
who can contain their self before my beauty?

Peace is wonderful, but ecstatic dance is more fun, 
and less narcissistic; gregarious He makes our lips.

On a day when the wind is perfect,
the sail just needs to open and the love starts.

Today is such a day.

~Rumi
