" The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere,

they're in each other all along."

From Essential Rumi

ReArrangements



Every day I promise myself:
Today
I will make the phone calls, send the letters,
manage the appointments;
I will read what I was supposed to,
I will write what I did not finish;
I will make some rearrangements in the kitchen,
in my notes, in my papers, on my shelves;
I will put my life in order,
the way it was meant to be.
And everyday I accomplish
nothing
I just manage to breathe...

I still live...
Now -
I just have to add the meaning
