"He speaks to the rose’s ear and causes it to bloom, (He speaks to the stone and it becomes a jewel of the mine), He speaks a spell to body and it becomes soul, He speaks to the sun and it becomes a fount of light Again in its ear He whispers a word of power And its face is darkened as by a hundred eclipses."
Rumi

January 1, 1970
