God fixes a passionate desire in you, 
and then disappoints you. 
God does that a hundred times!
God breaks the wings of one intention
 and then gives you another,
 cuts the rope of contriving,
 so you’ll remember your dependence.
But sometimes your plans work out!
 You feel fulfilled and in control.
That’s because, if you were always failing, 
you might give up. But remember,
 it is by failures that lovers
 stay aware of how they are loved.
Failure is the key
 to the kingdom within.
Your prayer should be, “Break the legs 
of what I want to happen. Humiliate
 my desire. Eat me like candy. 
It’s spring and finally 
I have no will.”
Rumi
