Change

This is how the human being can change:

there’s a worm addicted to eating grape leaves.

Suddenly,
he wakes up, call it grace, whatever,

something wakes him, and he’s no longer just a worm.

He’s
the entire vineyard,

and the orchard too,

the fruit, the trunks, a growing wisdom and joy

that doesn’t need to devour.

Change from Within — Jalaluddin Rumi
