THE WORM'S WAKING
	This is how a human being can change: there's a worm addicted to eating grape leaves.                          Suddenly he wakes up, call it grace, whatever, something wakes him, and he's no longer a worm.                 He's the entire vineyard, and the orchard too, the fruit, the trunks, a growing wisdom and joy that doesn't need to devour.
Coleman Barks, Tr., The Essential Rumi (San Fransico: Harper Collins, 1995)
