The Seed Market

Can you find another market like this?

Where,with your one roseyou can buy hundreds of rose gardens?

Where,for one seedget a whole wilderness?

For one weak breath,a divine wind?

You've been fearfulof being absorbed in the ground,or drawn up by the air.

Now, your waterbead lets goand drops into the ocean,where it came from.

It no longer has the form it had,but it's still

The essence is the same.

This giving up is not a repenting.

It's a deep honoring of yourself.

When the ocean comes to you as a lover,marry at once, quickly,for God's sake!

Don't postpone it!

Existence has no better gift.

No amount of searching will find this.

A perfect falcon, for no reason has landed on your shoulder,and become yours.

A teaching story of Rumi translated by Coleman Barks
