I listen to Coleman Barks read Rumi...a LOT.  When I start listening, I don't want to stop.  Last night as I listened I thought I really had to share this poem that is on the CD called I Want Burning.  It's unbelievably beautiful.  It's also a completely different experience to listen to a poem read than it is to read it.  More on that concept later.  Enjoy.

Keep walking.
Don't try to see through the distances.
That's not for Human Beings.
Move within,
But don't
Move the way
Fear makes you move.

Today, like every other day,
We wake up empty and frightened.
Don't open the door to the study and begin reading.
Take down a musical instrument.

Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

Let the beauty we love be what we do.
