“Listen to the story told by the reed,
of being separated.
Since I was cut from the reed bed,
I have made this crying sound.
Anyone separated from the one he loves
understands what I say.
Anyone pulled from a source longs to go back.”
—Rumi
I guess the whole point is that there is/was a Source, and that returning is an option.
In the meantime, I find the heartache pretty beautiful.
