Very little grows on jagged rock.
Be ground.
Be crumbled, so wildflowers will come up
where You are.
***
To wander in the fields of flowers
pull the thorns from your Heart.
pull the thorns from your Heart.
***
Protect Yourself...
From Your Own Thoughts.
“I said: what about my eyes?
He said: Keep them on the road.
I said: What about my passion?
He said: Keep it burning.
I said: What about my heart?
He said: Tell me what you hold inside it?
I said: Pain and sorrow.
He said: Stay with it. The wound is the place
where the Light enters you.
***
My heart is so small
it's almost invisible.
How can You place
such big sorrows in it?
"Look," He answered,
"Look," He answered,
"your eyes are even smaller,
yet they behold the world."
Always remember you are braver than
you believe, stronger than you seem,
smarter than you think and twice
as beautiful as you'd ever imagined.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to
change the world. Today I am wise,
so I am changing myself.
***
I looked in temples, churches and mosques.
But I found the Divine within my heart.
***
What a Joy,
to travel the way of the Heart.
***
Although I may try to describe love, when I
experience it,
I am speechless ....
***
Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer,
worshiper, lover of leaving. It doesn’t matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even
if you have broken your vows a thousand times.
Come, yet again, come, come.
― Rumi
