Begin by Rumi

Begin

This is now.  Now is.  Don't postpone
till then.   Spend the spark of iron
 on stone.  Sit at the head of the table.
Dip your spoon in the bowl.  Seat yourself
 next to your joy and have your awakened soul
pour wine.                                                
                              Branches in the spring wind,
 easy dance of jasmine and cypress.  Cloth
for green robes has been cut from pure
 absence.         You're the tailor, settled
among your shop goods, quietly sewing.

Inquiry:  What is unfinished for me to give?   What is unfinished for me to heal?  What is unfinished for me to learn?  What is unfinished for me to experience?
