THE MOST ALIVE MOMENT

The most living moment comes when

those who love each other meet each

other’s eyes and in what flows

between them then.  To see your face

in a crowd of others, or alone on a

frightening street, I weep for that.

Our tears improve the earth.  The

time you scolded me, your gratitude,

your laughing, always your qualities

increase the soul.  Seeing you is a

wine that does not muddle or numb.

We sit inside the cypress shadow

where amazement and clear thought

twine their slow growth into us.

-- Rumi
