Summary: One of meanings of "Adam" in Hebrew is "like," implying "like God" : A human being is a resemblance. Rumi opens the poetry of this. A man walking back into a house becomes the Resurrection. People dancing the roof at night describe the constellations. The sight of a familiar head around the edge of a door is love returning to surprise the world.
