This week is the week of Persian Poems, poems about love, life, and everything else. Dear readers (that is, Mike and Jeff) if you don't like this stuff, skip this week!

For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself.
From within, I couldn't decide what to do.
Unable to see, I heard my name being called.
Then I walked outside.

Mowlana Jalaluddin Rumi (1207-1273)
