“I want to think again of dangerous and noble things.
I want to be light and frolicsome.
I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing,
as though I had wings.”
― Mary Oliver, Owls and Other Fantasies
The Sun and the Cave – a Sufi story
One day the sun began a conversation with a cave. The sun didn’t understand the concept of “darkness.” And the cave couldn’t understand the concept of “light.” So they decided to visit each other.
The cave went up to the sun and said, “This is such a beautiful place. Now I know what light is. Come down and visit my world.”
The sun traveled down to the cave, looked inside and said, “I don’t see any difference.”
