I am not from here

Rumi, the Sufi poet said, “The work is to open the heart, to seek the truth and the difficulty is being human.”

What is the heart? How do we know the depth of silence in another person? How do we find the balance between sacrifices and suffering? The way of friendship is outside doctrines. As Rumi said, “We have ecstatic grief for the human condition.”

We are not from here, we are transcendent. A human being is a kind of conversation.
