Rumi: Protect Yourself...



For years I had a bumper sticker up in my kitchen to remind me
of the need to stay open, to embrace seeing with new eyes,
to learn to listen with my heart and discern with my soul.
These words were but one piece of what has empowered me
gradually over time to develop the skill of lifting the veils of my
ignorance, fears, distortions, and conditioning of my family of origin
and culture which blur truth, beauty, joy, compassion, peace, wisdom,
and recognition of the Sacred within myself and all beings.
It read:

DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU THINK


This quote beautifully illuminates this wisdom:

Protect yourself......from your own thoughts.
~ Rumi ♥
