Not Here

There's courage involved if you want to become truth.

There is a broken-open place in a lover.

Where are those qualities of bravery and sharp compassion in this group?

What's the use of old and frozen thought?

I wanta howling hurt.

This is not a treasury where gold is stored, this is for copper.

We alchemists look for talent that can heat up and change.

Lukewarm won't do.

Half-hearted holding back,well-enough getting by?

Not here.

Rumi
