"We Are The Mirror...", by Jelaluddin Rumi
Updated: Jun 29, 2025
Going through some pages of "The Essential Rumi", translation by Coleman Barks, I encounter this very familiar, very short and profound poem.
We are the mirror as well as the face in it.
We are tasting the taste this minute
of eternity. We are pain
and what cures pain, both. We are
the sweet cold water and the jar that pours.
