Beautiful, Julie. If we go back another fifteen centuries or so beyond Rumi
we might find such a man...

THE PERFECT MAN

Who can free himself from achievement
And from fame, descend and be lost
Amid the masses of men?
He will flow like Tao, unseen,
He will go about like Life itself
With no name and no home.
Simple he is, without distinction.
To all appearances he is a fool.
His steps leave no trace. He has no power.
He achieves nothing, has no reputation.
Since he judges no one
No one judges him.
Such is the perfect man:
His boat is empty.

The Way of Chuang Tzu
