Falling in Love: Part Four: Marc Gafni

Before we really get deep into the falling in love conversation – I could not resist a word from Rumi…

gorgeous day to all of you lovers …

“Each Note”
Advice doesn’t help lovers
They’re not the kind of mountain stream
You can build a dam across.
An intellectual doesn’t know
What the drunk is feeling!
Don’t try to figure
What those lost inside love
Will do next!…
The stars come up spinning
Every night, bewildered in love.
They’d grow tired
With that revolving, if they weren’t.
They’d say,
‘How long do we have to do this?’
G-d picks up the reed flute world and blows.
Each note is a need coming through one of us,
A passion, a longing-pain.
Remember the lips
Where the wind-breath originated,
And let your note be clear.
Don’t try to end it.
Be your note.
I’ll show you how it’s enough.
Go up on the roof at night
In this city of the soul
Let everyone climb on their roofs
And sing their notes!
Sing Loud!
-Rumi
