Just a few lines this morning, my loves ~ within which, the entirety of the Universe is formed.

From the poet, Rumi:

“Today, like every other day, we wake up empty
and frightened. Don’t open the door to the study
and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument.

Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.”

Each day we are faced with the boldness of our own imperfections; brashly unapologetic and opened to the world. Gazing into the mirror, we find the harsh light immediately unforgiving – the deepened lines a reminder of our failed transgressions.

But, dare we note the flecks of gold beneath the chestnut hue? How ironic that these very same eyes have softened to all but inner self-view.

In any other circumstance, we’d courageously explore – marking the moment as a gift of Divine. We’d find ourselves transfixed; tracing wonderment through brazen grin — and, yielding judgment to a gladdened grace.

To some, time has ‘robbed’ a smoothness of hand. While, to others – she’s offered a blessing through Oak’s tangled roots.

Yet, nothing but our perspective has changed; a shifting of light through tender gaze.

And, knowing – that it is through this light that we learn to love.

In peace, my darlings…

Namaste ❤️
