Voice of the Day: Jelaluddin Rumi

"Lord, the air smells good today, / straight from the mysteries / within the inner courts of God. / A grace like new clothes thrown / across the garden, free medicine for everybody. / The trees in their prayer, the birds in praise / the first blue violets kneeling. / Whatever came from Being is caught up in being, drunkenly / forgetting the way back."

- Jelaluddin Rumi, from "Lord, the Air Smells Good Today"
