Fish don’t hold the sacred liquid in cups!
They swim the huge fluid freedom.”

“You're water. We're the millstone.
You're wind. We're dust blown up into shapes.
You're spirit. We're the opening and closing
of our hands. You're the clarity.
We're the language that tries to say it.
You're joy. We're all the different kinds of laughing.”
― The Essential Rumi
