Rumi- A Dumb Experiment: Break open your personal self to taste the story of the nutmeat soul. These voices come from that rattling against the outer shell. The nut and the oil inside have voices that can only be heard with another kind of listening. If it weren’t for the sweetness of the nut, the inner talking, who would ever shake a walnut? We listen to words so we can silently reach into the other. Let the ear and mouth get quiet, so this taste can come to the lip. Too long we have been saying poetry, talking discourses, explaining the mystery outloud. Let us try a dumb experiment.
