Poem:

You do not have to be sublime all the time. No yes you do! To repeat it is the Sublime. It is like you replicate being a monk but just by yourself at home some of the time. You can use your sex energy to wake up early and fill your head with bliss like a professional mystic. It is ironic that the one who does not waste his morning and went into enlightenment is the one who worries the most about wasting an evening moment. He takes an interest in re-entering Heaven once again before he goes to bed. JS Bach realized that going by horse and buggy was bourgeoisie and walked instead. Walking is a composers source of rhythm. I would like to walk to Lubeck. Late in the year you can listen to the all Bach show on wkcr out of Columbia. You could form a Christmas tree inside your body using your sensory and motor currents. You could just sit still and repeat five words and leave it to him. Listening to the inner music of the spheres is better than going to Oxford, Columbia and Harvard. From four until eight you can sit on the floor and contemplate. You could drink cold brew coffee which you keep cold by the window. The song of him is my only hymn. DS Poem December 13, 2018

I have no Life but this— To lead it here— Nor any Death—but lest Dispelled from there— Nor tie to Earths to come— Nor Action new— Except through this extent— The Realm of you— Poem 1398

Yes. The English paraphrase on the page (“If you are not handsome then be Jacob”) captures the basic idea, but some of the richness of Rumi’s Persian is hidden. The crucial verse is: تو که یوسف نیستی
