“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there.”

~ Rumi

Where we can have an allergy attack and get stung by a multitude of bees together. But, the key word here is together.

Fountains, We Are...

"Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same. Every wonderful sight will vanish; every sweet word will fade, But do not be disheartened, The source they come from is eternal, growing, Branching out, giving new life and new joy. Why do you weep? The source is within you And this whole world is springing up from it."

~ Jelaluddin Rumi (September 30, 1207 – December 17, 1273)

What Hurts The Soul?

in

We tremble, thinking we're about to dissolveinto nonexistence, but nonexistence fears even more that it might be given human form!

Loving is the only pleasure. Other delights turn bitter. What hurts the soul?

To live without tasting the water of its own essence. People focus on death and this material earth. They have doubts about soul water.

Those doubts can be reduced! Use night to wake your clarity. Darkness and the living water are lovers. Let them stay up together.

When merchants eat their big meals and sleep their dead sleep, we night-thieves go to work.

Love is the way messengers from the mystery tell us things.

Love is the mother. We are her children. She shines inside us, visible-invisible,

as we lose trust or feel it start to grow again.

~ Rumi (September 30, 1207 – December 17, 1273)
