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's 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.



Rumi
