Empty bowl
you dance on water

Overfilled
 you sink into the abyss.

With friends                                               you fly with your wings.
Without friends
you are a single fallen feather.
Flying with your wings                           you master the wind.
As a single feather
the wind blows you in all directions.

  -Rumi
