Rumi: Be Refreshed in the Darkness


Loving blessings to all in this New Year. ♥
 

Be Refreshed in the Darkness

Night cancels the business of the day;
inertia recharges the mind.
Then the day cancels the night,
and inertia disappears in the light.


Though we rest and sleep in the dark,
doesn’t the dark contain the water of life?
Be refreshed in the darkness.

Doesn’t a moment of silence
restore beauty to the voice?

Opposites manifest through opposites:
in the black core of the heart
God created the eternal light of love.

― Rumi
