Someone in charge would give up all his power,
if he caught one whiff of the wine-musk
from the room where lovers are doing who-knows-what!
~ Rumi

This fall at Esalen, Big Sur, I heard the complete poem recited, and these very words shuddered through me as the memory of my own wine-musk experience overwhelmed my senses. The joy of that experience now rests alongside the pain of its loss.
Odd that these words should come my way again so soon.
Thank you, Gigi.
Obviously you were doing who-knows-what!
Thanks for sharing.

Great words from one of my favorite poets.
He is good!
