Wet Clothes in Beirut…

When my friends and I were walking on the Corniche today, we got soaked–even though we were standing 20 feet back from the sea. From young people exercising to Syrian refugee kids shining shoes–all of us were wearing wet clothes…

And watch two men washing clothes;
one makes dry clothes wet.
The other makes wet clothes dry.
They seem to be thwarting each other,
but their work is a perfect harmony.

Every holy person seems to have a different
doctrine and practice,
but there’s really only one work.

— Rumi
