Portico Quartet - Isla

The Portico Quartet is my latest musical find, which brings me lots of joy and pleasure. Thought I'd share the love.  Here's one of their singles... simply divine!

What you cannot imagine

"I died from minerality and became vegetable;
And from vegetativeness I died and became animal.
I died from animality and became man.
Then why fear disappearance through death?
Next time I shall die
Bringing forth wings and feathers like angels;
After that, soaring higher than angels -
What you cannot imagine,
I shall be that." 
~ Rumi
"When a baby is taken from the wet nurse,
it easily forgets her
and starts eating solid food.

Seeds feed awhile on ground,
then lift up into the sun.

So you should taste the filtered light
and work your way toward wisdom
with no personal covering.

That's how you came here, like a star
without a name. Move across the night sky
with those anonymous lights." 
~ Rumi
