You've 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.
Jalaluddin Balkhi - Rumi
