Soul, Heart and Body One Morning

Soul, Heart, and Body One Morning

There's a morning when presence comes

over your soul. You sing like a rooster

In your earth-colored shape. Your heart

hears and, no longer frantic, begins

to dance. At that moment, soul reaches

total emptiness. Your heart becomes Mary,

miraculously pregnant, and body like a

two-day-old Jesus says wisdom words. Now

the heart, which is the source of your

loving, turns to universal light, and the

body picks up the tempo and elegance of

it's motion. Where Shams*-I Tabriz walks

the footprints becomes notations of music

and holes you fall through into space.

- Rumi

身、心、靈，在某個清晨

某個清晨，你的靈魂感受到它的存在，

像公雞一樣，你用大地色的身體開始歌詠。

你的心聽到歌聲，它不再慌亂，起舞。

在這一刻，與靈魂合一。

你的心變成瑪利亞，

奇蹟式的受孕。

你的身體變成初生的耶穌基督，

述說說著智慧的語句。

你的心 - 愛的泉源，

迎向宇宙的光明。

你的身體追隨著心的節奏，

優雅地律動。

沙姆斯*行跡之處，

留下的腳印成為樂章，

成為靈魂的入口。
