We Are Living In the Golden Age of Bumper-Sticker Wisdom

Downright poetic. And speaking of poetry, here is a Coleman Barks rendering of Rumi for Valentine's Day:

if you want the unseen world,
you are not living with your truth.

both wishes are foolish,
but you'll be forgiven for forgetting
that what you really want is
love's confusing joy.
