Bare Earth...

Does anyone write something on a place
that has already been written over?
Or plant a sapling where one already grows?

No, he seeks a blank piece of paper
and sows the seed where none has yet been sown.

Sister, be bare earth;
be a clean piece of paper untouched by writing,
that you may be ennobled by the pen of revelation,
so that the Gracious One may sow seed within you.

~ Rumi
