so, the blur has reignited my interest in rumi and undoubtedly his words and spirit simply splendid. it will be another week before i see my beloved and i am preparing my fragile vile. as usual, we have been blowing on the flame of love and lust and our desire for each other scorches us frequently. and so i stumbled upon an appropriate passage from rumi

if you’re a true human being.

Half-heartedness doesn’t

but then you keep stopping
for long periods at mean-spirited roadhouses.
