A wealth you cannot imagine
flows through you.
Do not consider what strangers say.
Be secluded in your secret heart-house,
that bowl of silence.
Talking, no matter how humble-seeming,
is really a kind of bragging.
Let silence be the art
you practice.
~ Rumi
translation by Coleman Barks
from Rumi: Bridge to the Soul

oh! i was just trying to remember this,
Talking, no matter how humble-seeming,
is really a kind of bragging.
and failing at it again!
a real question, how do we share then? because the rest of what rumi says here is sustaining to me.
