Rumi- Poet and Prophet

Greetings everyone!! Happy Tuesday!  

I want this blog to enlighten as well as inspire. I will usually highlight with a hyperlink interesting things we discuss in order to take you on a journey of discovery.  

With that said, one of the most fascinating people to me has been the Persian poet Rumi.  

There have been great thinkers, visionaries and Spiritualists throughout time.

This is not a new way of thinking, we are just being enlightened to new ideas and thought.

Step outside the fence line, explore your world, it is not just your backyard.   Poems by Rumi       

 I am part of the load
Not rightly balanced
I drop off in the grass,
like the old Cave-sleepers,
to browse wherever I fall.

For hundreds of thousands of years I have been dust-grains
floating and flying in the will of the air,
often forgetting ever being in that state, but in sleep I migrate back.

I spring loosefrom the four-branched, time -and-space cross,
this waiting room.

I walk into a huge pasture
I nurse the milk of millennia

Everyone does this in different ways.
Knowing that conscious decisions and personal memory
are much too small a place to live,
every human being streams at night
into the loving nowhere, or during the day,
in some absorbing work.

Rumi

 
Namaste,
