A poem for Simin

I first read this poem in Roger Housden's "Ten Poems to Change Your Life" which I got from the bargain bin at a booksale and which I just love to bits. I think it really sums up Simin's courage and I hope that a "stretcher will come from grace to gather us up."

Zero Circle by Rumi
(Version by Coleman Barks)

Be Helpless, dumbfounded,
Unable to say yes or no.
Then a stretcher will come from grace
to gather us up.

We are too dull-eyed to see that beauty.
If we say we can, we're lying.
If we say No, we don't see it,
That No will behead us
And shut tight our window onto spirit.

So let us rather not be sure of anything,
Beside ourselves, and only that, so
Miraculous beings come running to help.
Crazed, lying in a zero circle, mute,
We shall be saying finally,
With tremendous eloquence, Lead us.
When we have totally surrendered to that beauty,
We shall be a mighty kindness.
