Rumi

A man

standing on two logs in a river

might do all right floating with the current

while humming in the

now.

Though

if one log is tied to a camel,

who is also heading south along the bank

–at the same pace-

all could still be well

with the world
unless the camel

thinks he forgot something, and

abruptly turns upstream,then
uh-oh.

Most minds

do not live in the present

and can stick to a reasonable plan;

most minds abruptly turn

and undermine the

chance

of humming.
