Don's Blog "The Diver's Clothes Lying Empty"

My humble suggestion: read it at least five times / don't try to 'understand' it or what its about/ who wouldn't want to 

experience the 'sound of no shore'?

The Divers Clothes Lying Empty

You are sitting here with us,

but you are also out walking in a field at dawn.

You are yourself the animal we hunt

when you come with us on the hunt.

You are in your body 

like a plant is solid in the ground,

yet you are wind.

You are the divers clothes

lying empty on the beach.

You are the fish.

In the ocean are many bright strands

and many dark strands like veins that are seen

when a wing is lifted up.

Your hidden self is blood in those,

those veins that are lute strings

that make ocean music,

not the sad edge of surf

but the sound of no shore.

Rumi, translated by Coleman Banks
