Rumi ...

Be grateful for your life ... 
Every detail of it ...
And your face will come to shine like a sun ...
And everyone who sees it will be made glad and peaceful ...

I handle fame by not being famous ... 

I'm not famous to me ...

Saul Bellow ...

A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance ... 
When the need for illusion is deep ...

Audre Lorde ...

I think of what it could have meant in terms of sisterhood and survival ...
For each one of us to have known of the other's existence ... 

For me to have had her words and her wisdom ... 
And for her to have known I needed them ...

Death Cab ...

It's a backwards attraction to your forward eyes  

But you're so farsighted 

You can't place trust in what or who you recognize

Something is more beautiful out there than anything I've ever seen #JafarAlamPoetry
