Love Is the Water of Life,
by Rumi
Everything other than love for the most beautiful God
though it be sugar- eating.
What is agony of the spirit?
To advance toward death without seizing
hold of the Water of Life.

Thank you, Brad. I was on a walk after lunch and saw that mural. I guess the stars were aligned.
