Come, come whoever you are...Wanderer, Worshipper, Lover of Leaving. It doesn't matter, ours is not a caravan of despair. Even if you've broken your vows a thousand times, come yet again. ~ Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi ~
Thank you, Bev, for these words. This post went up before learning about the horror in Paris. And now looking at the poem and the Upanishads' verse, it's all the more poignant...
There the sun shines not, nor the moon and the stars,
ReplyDeletenor the lightning, let alone this earthly fire.
Only when illumining Light shines,
everything else shines;
the self-revealing Light illumines the entire universe.
~ The Upanishads
