This poetry was given to me along with the rest of IU's Muslim Student Union executive board members at our last gathering on May 2004. The board members for the following year gave it to us as a token of appreciation for our services and words of encouragement for what we were going to go through after graduation.
The difference between birds
And their wings,
And the wings of the aspirations
Of intelligent men,
Is that birds fly on their wings
Towards a certain direction,
Whereas intelligent men fly on the wings
Of their aspirations away from all
Direction.
- Rumi
And their wings,
And the wings of the aspirations
Of intelligent men,
Is that birds fly on their wings
Towards a certain direction,
Whereas intelligent men fly on the wings
Of their aspirations away from all
Direction.
