"Lord, the air smells good today, straight from the mysteries within the inner courts of God. A grace like new clothes thrown across the garden, free medicine for everybody. The trees in their prayer, the birds in praise, the first blue violets kneeling. Whatever came from being is caught up in being, drunkenly forgetting the way back. One man turns and sees his birth pulling separate from the others. He fills with light, and colors change here. He drinks it in, and everyone is wonderfully drunk, shining with beauty. I can't really say that I feel the pain of others, when the whole world seems so sweet. Face to face with a lion, I grow leonine. Walking out of the Treasury Building, I feel generous. Anyone still sober in this weather must be afraid of people, afraid what they'll say. Enough talking. If we eat too much greenery, we're going to smell like vegetables." - Rumi
