What draws Friends together Does not conform to Laws of Nature. Form doesn’t know about spiritual closeness. If a grain of barley approaches a grain of wheat, An ant must be carrying it. A black ant on black felt. You can’t see it, but if grains go toward each other, It’s there.
A hand shifts our birdcages around. Some are brought closer. Some move apart. Do not try to reason it out. Be conscious Of who draws you and who not.
~ Rumi from "The Force of Friendship" in THIS LONGING
