“This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.” -
RumiThis, in honor of my one little word for 2013. I love the idea of a
secret sky. How can a sky be secret? Could it be a boy at his window at night? Or someone in a train car peeping out through a crack?
And how miraculous, to think of love as something which causes a hundred veils to fall each moment. To be that vulnerable, that naked. What does
that sky look like?
Finally, finally, that wonderful, faith-filled flight...
