The Waltz of the Flowering Quince

Everything has its own dance,
sings its own song. Listen
with your body, with your heart.
Feel the way things touch you
with the rhythm of their being.
Pay attention to the way
that they resonate inside you.
Ask yourself about the taste,
about the quality of sound
a thing creates. Take the flower
of the quince, for example.
Notice how its gentle sweetness
moves in a poignant waltz.
Close your eyes and feel its song
moving you, almost to tears.
