Nourishment

As I was taking down my 2011 calendar which was entitled Rumi, Heart of the Beloved, I stopped to read the December poem/quotation I had not yet read.  Here it is:

There is

nourishment like

bread that feeds

one part of your life

and nourishment

like light for

another.

There are many

rules about

restraint with

the former,

but only one rule

for the latter.

Never be satisfied.

Eat and drink the

soul substance, as

a wick does with

the oil it soaks in.

Give light to the

company.
