   The Thief Will Enter

No matter what plans you make,
no matter what you acquire,
the thief will enter from the unguarded side.

Be occupied, then, with what you really value
and let the thief take something less.

Mathnawi II, 1505-07

	In generosity and helping others, be like a river In compassion and grace, be like the sun In concealing other's faults, be like the night In anger and fury, be as if you have died In modesty and humility, be like the earth In tolerance, be like the sea And either appear as you are, or be as you appear Received from oral tradition of Rumi, paraphrased by Kabir Helminski.
