Well I enjoyed reading that comment you wrote, and you really touched base on a lot of things I was trying to convey when I wrote that poem... So that means a lot to me. Don't feel like you have to constrict how you feel about a topic. Write what you feel. Write as much as you feel! I'll read it whether you are on your soapbox or not...

*Day and Night*

Day and night there is movement of foam on the Sea.
You see the foam, but not the Sea. Amazing!
We are dashing against each other like boats:
our eyes are darkened though we are in clear water.
O you who have gone to sleep in the body's boat,
you've seen the water,
but look at the Water of the water.
The water has a Water that is driving it;
the spirit has a Spirit that is calling it.

Rumi (Mathnawi III, 1271-1274)
