Learn to recognize the false dawn from the true;
distinguish the color of the wine from the color of the cup.
Then it may be that patience and time may produce,
out of the spectrum-viewing sight,
true vision, and you will behold colors other than these mortal hues,
you will see pearls instead of stones.
Pearls, did I say?
Nay more, you will become a sea, you will become a sun traveling the sky.
Rumi
