Prisoner of a Pond…

I came across this hidden pond while hiking in Lebanon. After walking through the woods for eight hours, it was a lovely surprise to stumble upon this enchanting tableau…which reminded me of a Rumi poem…

You have been a prisoner of a little pond,
I am the ocean and its turbulent flood.
Come merge with me, leave this world of ignorance.
Be with me, I will open the gate to your love…

— Rumi
