A poem by Rumi: The Clear Bead at the Center

The Wild Moon Bhaktas at First Unitarian Society, July, 2015

“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
