The wind one brilliant day
Called to my soul
With an odor of jasmine
And the wind said
“In exchange for the odor of my jasmine
I would like to have all the odor of your roses.”
I replied,
“I have no roses, all the flowers in my garden are dead.”
And the wind said,
“I will take the withered petals and the yellow leaves.”
And the wind left…
And I wept!
And I said to my soul,
“what have you done with the garden that have been entrusted to you?”
