It's a habit of yours to walk slowly.
You hold a grudge for years.
With such heaviness, how can you be modest?
With such attachments, do you expect to arrive anywhere?
Be wide as the air to learn a secret.
Right now you're equal portions clay
and water, thick mud.
Abraham learned how the sun and moon and the stars all set.
He said, "No longer will I try to assign partners for God."
You are so weak. Give up to grace.
The ocean takes care of each wave
till it gets to shore.
You need more help than you know.
You're trying to live your life in open scaffolding.
Say Bismallah, "In the name of God,"
as the priest does with a knife when he offers an animal.
"Bismallah" your old self
to find your real name.
- "Bismallah", in The Essential Rumi: New Expanded Edition, trans. Coleman Barks (Harper Collins, 2004), 70.

Ambient does not equal serene, this can be kind of jarring. Serenity for me is soft-flowing instrumentals like New Chautauqua etc.... Just saying
Ambient Radio Head?
