Each morning, when I read the days wisdom, meditation or poem, I think they have been written especially for me. It always applies. Every single day.
This morning the daily reading from Rumi’s book was so poignant and uplifting for me.
In case you don’t know of Rumi, he is a Persian poet and Sufi master born 810 years ago in 1207. His poetry books have sold millions of copies in recent years, making him the most popular poet in the U.S. I simply adore his wisdom and insight and am astounded that what he wrote over 800 years ago is so apropos in present day.
Sublime Generosity
He said, You are the sheikh, the guide.
But I am not a teacher. I have no power.
He said, You already have wings.
I cannot give you wings
But I wanted his wings.
I felt like some flightless chicken.
Then new events said to me,
Don’t move. A sublime generosity
is coming toward you.
And old love said, Stay with me.
I said, I will.
You are the fountain of the sun’s light.
I am a willow shadow on the ground
You make my raggedness silky.
So beautiful. Hope you enjoy it too and I highly recommend the three books I listed
above. Always relevant. Every single day.
