Quote by Rumi

You're water. We're the millstone.You're wind. We're dust blown up into shapes.You're spirit. We're the opening and closing of our hands. You're the clarity.We're the language that tries to say it.You're joy. We're all the different kinds of laughing.

Summary

This quote metaphorically illustrates the contrast between two entities: "You" and "We." It conveys the idea that while You possess certain qualities such as fluidity, strength, and clarity, We are merely influenced and transformed by these qualities. You represent elements of nature and spirituality that are powerful and intangible, whereas We symbolize human beings and our feeble attempts to articulate and express these abstract experiences. Ultimately, You encompass joy and its various manifestations, while We are the multitude of ways in which that joy is expressed through laughter.
