Laughing Wonder Weeping

More From Rumi

Wonder is like grace, in that it's not a condition we grasp; it grasps us. wonder is not an obligatory element in the search for truth. we can seek truth without wonder's assistance. but seek is all we'll do; there will be no finding. unless wonder descends, unlocks us ... truth is unable to enter. wonder may be the aura of truth, the halo of it. or something even closer. wonder may be the caress of truth, touching our very skin.
Grace Touching Skins
I remember watching meryl streep in, the river wild. there's this scene where she's has a gun pointed at her, it's absurd in a lot of ways. someone pulls a gun on her i think, i'm not really fully aware of the scene and she just, she starts, you see her terrified. and then all of a sudden she starts to burst out laughing. she starts laughing. like she can't stop laughing. because she's terrified and she's emotional and there are no rules to what you're supposed to feel. that to me is like a number one, that's the thing i have to remind myself all the time.
Gun Emotional Thinking
[as a kid] i did enjoy making people laugh but i was also attracted to funny people. i'm [still] quite happy to not be the one trying to make other people laugh. i'm happy laughing at someone else. i enjoy laughing and i'll happily be the one just laughing all night if you can make me laugh.
Kids Night Laughing
I soon began to dream. ... i heard subdued sobs, as if a number of people were weeping. ... i left my bed and wandered downstairs. ... there i met with a sickening surprise. before me was a catafalque, on which rested a corpse wrapped in funeral vestments. around it were stationed soldiers who were acting as guards; and there was a throng of people, gazing mournfully upon the corpse, whose face was covered, others weeping pitifully. 'who is dead in the white house?' i demanded of one of the soldiers, 'the president,' was his answer; 'he was killed by an assassin.''

It is not easy to convey a sense of wonder, let alone resurrection wonder, to another. it’s the very nature of wonder to catch us off guard, to circumvent expectations and assumptions. wonder can’t be packaged, and it can’t be worked up. it requires some sense of being there and some sense of engagement.
Jesus Expectations Engagement
The weeping of the guitar begins. the goblets of dawn are smashed. the weeping of the guitar begins. useless to silence it. impossible to silence it. it weeps monotonously as water weeps as the wind weeps over snowfields. impossible to silence it. it weeps for distant things. hot southern sands yearning for white camellias. weeps arrow without target evening without morning and the first dead bird on the branch. oh, guitar! heart mortally wounded by five swords.
