    The speaker's rose garden has become barren and the genies will not return to their bottle despite spells. A beloved's frown can destroy a lover and the speaker asks their love to return and brighten their eye even if they do not deserve it. A voice replies that the lover should not look to themselves for the cause, as it is beyond the present situation. The gift of life can be given and taken away without understanding why. Grace comes with the creation word "Be" and in the moment between saying "buh" and "ee" everything happens.

    The Creation Word by Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi Three days now it has been like this.

    . I dip my pitcher in the fountain. It fills with blood.

    The rose garden is all desert thorns and stone. I chant spells to lure the genii back into the bottle. Nothing happens.

    A beloveds frown destroys the lover. Come back. Brighten my eye even if I do not deserve it.

    !y loving asks "hat have I done# A voice replies $o not look to yourself. The cause is beyond every here and now. The life gift is given and then taken away. It is not for us to know why or how.

    %race comes with the creation word Be. That gate opens without hesitating.

    Between the push of buh and the smooth launch of ee There is an infinite moment when everything happens.

    From Rumi: The Big Red Book The %reat !asterpiece Celebrating !ystical &ove ' (riendship pp. ))* The collected translations by Coleman Barks
