! ! Universal Joke

Rating: 4.5


You can’t get really near
the Beloved Friend
who some call God
without a sense of humour;

humour; and paradox:
sadness brings humility,
humility catches God’s ear…
now you’re laughing for sheer joy.

And have you heard this one…:
you can’t take anything from this world
without the world taking something from you…
isn’t that the best joke that ever was…?

Cows, who ruminate as well as Rumi ever did
Call it the Unified Field Theory.

I don't get it, but that is common of me, for jokes are out of my reach; -)
