The Worm's Waking - Rumi

 This is how a human being can change: There's a worm addicted to eating grape leaves. Suddenly he wakes up, call it grace, whatever, something  wakes him, and he is no longer a worm. He's the entire vineyard and the orchard, too, the fruit, the trunks, a growing wisdom and joy that doesn't need to devour.
