a gift for you

 






.



You have no idea how hard I've looked
for a gift to bring You. 
Nothing seemed right.

What's the point of bringing gold 
to the gold mine, or water to the ocean. 
Everything I came up with was like 
taking spices to the Orient.

It's no good giving my heart and my soul
because you already have these. 

So I've brought you a mirror.
Look at yourself and remember me.


—Jalal al-Din Rumi
