Water

*

Your eye has not strength enough
to gaze at the burning sun,
but you can see its burning light
by watching its reflection
mirrored in the water

If you pierce the heart of a single drop of water,
from it will flow a hundred clear oceans;
heaven is concealed in the pupil of an eye;
the core at the center of the heart is small,

yet the Sacred will enter there


- Mahmud Shabistari
