thinking gives off smoke
to prove the existence of fire.
a mystic sits inside the burning.
there are wonderful shapes
in rising smoke
that imagination loves to watch.
but it's a mistake to leave the fire
for that filmy sight.
stay here...
at the flame's core.

thanx for sharing this rumi quote
it's magnificent, as is the artwork you created around it
thanks, kel! rumi is such a well-spring of inspiration for me.
This really warms you right up! And in the middle of winter -- it is a welcomed thing. This is just wonderful! Decided to pop by and see what you have been up to - so glad I did!
melissa - always a pleasure to have you stop by - glad to be able to send some warmth your way!
