"No better love than love without object,
no more satisfying work than work with no purpose.
If you could give up tricks and cleverness,
that would be the cleverest trick!"
If you can, be sure to see the Berkeley Art Museum's latest show "Create". It features incredible art work, unselfconscious, true, beautiful, touching, and all done by people with various kinds of disabilities. They have truly given up "tricks and cleverness" and become amazing artists and observers of life. Compared to the work of many "real artists" these folks have a freshness and energy about their work that illustrates Rumi's point beautifully. Go and see, and you'll feel what I mean.
