My Conversations with Rumi

I met Rumi this dawn in the garden. Rumi asked me “ Have you written your will ? “ I observed silence. He asked me “What does your silence mean?.” I replied “ My silence conveys to you that I have not written a will .” Rumi asked me “If you were to write a will , what will you write in it ?” I replied “ I will write nothing.” Rumi sported an inquisitive smile and asked me “ How do you want society to deal with your body after you are gone?” Rumi was forcing me to go through an acid test on the shores of time. I meditated on HIM and HE replied to Rumi on my behalf “That body had never been his nor will be it ever be his . I created him as Emptiness and he will return empty to me .” Rumi shed tears which blended with the dew drops on the blades of grass which formed a green carpet for Mother Earth.”
