Judge like a king, and choose the purest, the ones unadulterated with fear,
or some urgency about “what’s needed.”

“SPECIAL PLATES Notice how each particle moves.
Notice how everyone has just arrived here
     from a journey.
Notice how each wants a different food.
Notice how the stars vanish as the sun comes up,
     and how all streams stream toward the ocean.
Look at the chefs preparing special plates
     for everyone, according to what they need.
Look at this cup that can hold the ocean.
Look at those who see the face.
Look through Shams’ eyes
     into the water that is
     entirely jewels.”
― Rumi, The Essential Rumi
