With Passion

Composition VI
—Painting by Wassily Kandinsky, 1913



WITH PASSION
—Rumi

With
passion pray. With

passion work. With passion make love.

With passion eat and drink and dance and play.

Why look like a dead fish

in this ocean

of

God? 


(trans. from the Persian by Daniel Ladinsky)
