Fall forest near Beldor Hollow Overlook, Shenandoah NP
"Sitting under a tree in a beautiful garden
a Sufi, head upon his knee, eyes closed
was lost in contemplation.
A passer-by, annoyed by his state,
could not contain himself.
“How can you sleep?
Pay attention
to the signs of God that surround you.”
The Sufi calmly answered,
“God’s signs I behold within my heart!”
- Rumi (13th Century Sufi mystic/poet)
