What is inspiration?
Does it come from our brain, contained in the bones of the skull?
Is there an inspiration that does not come from the brain?
Is there an inspiration that does not come from the brain?
do we connect with it?, is it personal?
THIS WE HAVE NOW
This we have now
is not imagination.
This is not
grief or joy.
Not a judging state,
or an elation,
or sadness.
Those come
and go.

This is the Presence
that doesn’t.
It's dawn, Husam,
here in the splendor of coral,
inside the Friend, the simple truth
of what Hallaj said.
What else could human beings want?
When grapes turn to wine,
they’re wanting
this.

When grapes turn to wine,
they’re wanting
this.
When the nightsky pours by,
it’s really a crowd of beggars,
and they all want some of this!
This
that we are now
created the body, cell by cell,
like bees building a honeycomb.
The human body and the universe
grew from this, not this
from the universe and the human body.
- Rumi
