Rumi says that God exists between a human being and what he
or she wants. So that when asking for what you really want, you have to live
out your desire-body and live through it, and then the desire changes as you
become more conscious of it. Rumi's work has brought a lot of happiness because
he is so consciously and hilariously alive. His vibrancy is just so real, and
it keeps reminding me of the experience, as a kid, of coming out of a movie
feeling more hungry for my own life.
