"Move your hair in the light.
Let it scatter amber,
as the souls of sufis begin
to dance, sun, moon, and stars,
around us in a circle."
- Rumi (from the poem titled The Dance of Your Hidden Life)

This one resonates in an interesting way for me today, as a few weeks from now I won't have hair left to move in the light. While reading the poem, I had the feeling that my soul would feel lighter, and freer to dance. Interesting.

I love Rumi. His poems always get to the "heart of the matter". This is a nice one.
