This We Have Now by Jelaluddin Rumi

This we have now
is not imagination.

This is not
grief or joy.

Not a judging state,
or an elation,
or sadness.

Those come and go.
This is the presence that doesn't.

This we have now
is not imagination.

This is not
grief or joy.

Not a judging state,
or an elation,
or sadness.

Those come and go.
This is the presence that doesn't.

Nothing has more weight
than your words...

Don't put the emphasis
in the wrong place...

For perception is an action
that carves its place

on the slate of your soul.
