[from A Year With Rumi: Daily Readings—here’s an excerpt from the February 12th poem]
Humankind is being led along an evolving course,
through this migration of intelligences,
and though we seem to be sleeping,
there is an inner wakefulness that directs the dream.
It will eventually startle us back
to the truth of who we are.
At first, I thought the line read, “Humankind is being led along an evolving CURSE.” And believed it.
