Michael Shepherd - ! In the spirit of Rumi - 50 - One Thing

Oh the pleasure, the happiness, br the delight, the joy, the bliss, br of doing just one thing above all! br br When I was a child, I did many things; br that’s right for children – there’s the world, br go play in it; ask, what’s a horizon? but what br lies beyond? and why can’t I see angels br if angels can see me? … br br When I was a young man, I did many things; br that’s right for young men – which one will I love? br which one will love me? And when we’ve together found our love, br oh what then? and oh what then? br br But now I’m older, there seems less time br for many things; they will look after themselves br without my help… so, what delight br to give oneself to just one thing… br one thing at a time; and then br one thing… br br and it seems, it doesn’t matter what; br roses need an expert to collaborate br in dreaming up new beauty from an older stock; br dogs need exercise, and a two-legs to look up to; br grandchildren are born to love grandparents br in a special way..
