Rumi: The Wound Is Where the Light Enters You

I said: What about my eyes?
He said: Keep them on the road.

I said: What about my passion?
He said: Keep it burning!

I said: What about my heart?
He said: Tell me what you hold inside it?

I said: Pain and sorrow.
He said: Stay with it. The wound is where 

the light enters you.
