“This is the subtle truth; whatever you love, you are.” – Rumi
One of my favorite passages from poet, Jalāl ad-Dīn Rumi. But, my darlings, do you know what this means?
It speaks to the nature of our interconnectedness; that inexplicable bond whose ‘threads’ form the very fabric of humanity.
It is the ‘oneness’ which connects us all. And, when we’re able to break free of these barriers to love, my darlings – only then, can we finally step into the wholeness of our being.
As Thich Nhat Hanh once so beautifully offered,
“We touch the earth to let go of the idea that we are separate and to remind us that we are the Earth and part of Life. When we touch the Earth we become great, like an ancient tree sending her roots deep into the earth, drinking from the source of all waters.”
I like to think, with each ‘root’ that is formed, that we are reinforcing our connection to all living beings.
Whatever you love, you are; and, whatever we embrace, we become.
My prayer on this day, is that we may all become ‘one’ with this Love.
