Great Wagon
(exact from a poem by Jalaluddin Rumi)

Today, like every other day, we wake up empty
and frightened. Don't open the door to the study
and begin reading. Take down a musicl instrument.
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel down and kiss the ground.
~
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.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
doesn't make any sense.
~
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you,
Don't go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open,
Don't go back to sleep.
------------------------------------------------
Such a beatiful poem.
Fits all my concepts and thoughts about the world.
