The Silk Worm 

I stood before a silk worm one day.
And that night my heart said to me,

“I can do things like that, I can spin skies,
I can be woven into love that can bring warmth to
people;
I can be soft against a crying face,
I can be wings that lift, and I can travel on my
thousand feet
 throughout the earth, my sacs filled with the
sacred.”

And I replied to my heart,
“Dear, can you really do all those things?”

And it just nodded “Yes” in silence.
So we began and will never cease.

~Rumi

It’s hard to imagine who first came up with the idea of making silk. They would have needed a farm of worms. Nice poetry selection. Rumi was an amazing writer

  Thanks. I believe it was the Chinese that were first with silk. The women farmed it but I don’t know how they came up with the idea. 🙂
