“The Clear Bead at the Center
changes everything
There are no edges to my loving now.

I’ve heard it said, there’s a window
that opens from one mind to another.
But if there is no wall
there is no window,
And if there is no window,
there is no need for a latch

There are no edges to my loving now.
The clear bead at the center
changes everything. – Rumi, translation by Bly & Coleman
