Birdsong brings relief
to my longing.
I am just as ecstatic as they are,
but with nothing to say!
Please, universal soul, practice
some song, or something, through me!
~Rumi
(Just this week noticed birds singing in my neighborhood again.)
Big A Little a has the roundup today.

"Practice some song, or something through me!"
I could open every writing session with that plea. :)
Thank you for the Rumi poem. Like Mozart, Rumi can be appropriate for every occasion.
I've started noticing bird song too. This is the perfect poem for this time of year (really anytime, but February especially). It's going to be part of my daily prayers now.
