Rumi: One Drop of Your Kindness


Out of kindness comes this world,
and certain arrangements of stars.
With just the right conjunction, you appear.

One drop of your kindness
makes the ocean sweet.

One grain from that granary
makes an empty acre open myriad
like a cornfield in the sun.

- Rumi
from Soul Fury, translation by Coleman Barks
