Don't Be Satisfied

"Don't be satisfied with stories,
how things have gone for others.
Unfold your own myth,
Without complicated explanation...
Stark walking...
Your legs will get heavy and tired.
Then comes the moment
Of feeling the wings you've grown,
Lifting."

Rumi

Morality and Religion

"The foundation of morality should not be made dependent on myth nor tied to
any authority lest doubt about the myth or about the legitimacy of the
authority imperil the foundation of sound judgment and action."  Einstein
