When will we find love. – bell hooks, Toward a Revolution of Love, Lion's Roar, January 2026.

I Traveled to Every City

there was none like the city of Love.

This pen feels no pride or shame.

It doesn't laud or lash itself.

It knows it traverses the unknown.

The mind can't contain these paradoxes –

how the pen surrenders form to the formless,

giving the formless form.

…

Who am I when Love obliterates the I

I thought I was, drawing me from one path,

leading me on another?

I could tell you,

but every time I get to this point

the tip of my pen breaks.

– Rumi, “I Traveled to Every City,” in Water, Translated by Haleh Liza Gafori, New York Review Books, 2025.
