Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don’t claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent. -Rumi
Peaceful is the one who’s not concerned with having more or less. Unbound by name and fame, he is free from sorrow from the world and mostly from himself. – Rumi
And still, after all this time, the Sun has never said to the Earth, “You owe me.” Look what happens with love like that. It lights up the sky. -Rumi
Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone’s soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd. – Rumi

sorry uplifting!!
Thanks Cindy!
They’re lovely Tiny, love the colours.
I love these colors too, but have not worked with them for a while. Happy you liked them, Leanne.
I am a big Rumi fan and you have complimented his wisdom with beautiful pics. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
I’m a big fan of his poetry too, so timeless and inspiring 🙂
Love your captures and Rumi’s words! 🙂
Thanks Joanne. His words have so much relevance even today..a couple of these photos were older, just reprocessed them today 🙂
Great pictures and I love the quotes. 🙂 (I sent you an email!) ❤
Thanks my friend, just saw it a little while ago 🙂
Love the filters and treatments on these photos, Tiny! Awesome!
Thanks Nancy…I did let loose a little bit on the filters and other tricks on these ones 🙂 Happy you liked them.
Oh I forgot…Bumble says his book is finally on its way north. He took his time 🙂
Oh, I love Rumi, and these are beautiful images to complement the quotes!
I’m happy you enjoyed the post, Cyndi. I hope you’re not having too much rain…we’re getting soaked today 🙂
No rain here. It missed us.
Wonderful words from Rumi … and glorious images that allow them to land softly and deeply.
Thank you Tiny 💛
That’s so beautiful, Val! Land softly and deeply…wow!
Oh I forgot…Bumble is poking my leg with his nose and asks me to say his book is finally on its way.
Great images with a great poet. Thanks Tiny.
Thanks Maverick ~ happy you enjoyed the post.
Lovely post, Tiny! The quotes and images complement each other.
My fave:

Thanks Nancy. I first selected the quotes from my library, and then the images…and got a bit “filter-happy” to put them in the right mood. Glad you liked the combination.
these wonderful images and profound words make me feel so good and tell me to smile…i smile and smile…
These are profound messages (like much of his poetry) and I’m happy my images reinforced the sentiments 🙂 Very happy to hear you’re smiling, Sirpa.
Very thought provoking with interesting illustrations.
Happy you enjoyed the combination, Susan!
Just what I needed -when I needed it, thanks for posting this wonder-filled combination of sense, philosophy and image.
Happy to hear that! Thank you.
Wow, what wonderfully wise words, and brilliant photos to illustrate the point. I really needed this today, thank you.
We all need some uplifting words every now and then. I’m happy these were timely. Have a wonderful day, Amy.
It started out fairly dreadfully, (I’ve never handled conflict well) but it has gradually improved. And the sun is shining and the ruby-throated hummingbird, the red-bellied woodpecker, the goldfinches, etc are all right outside my window…so it will all be well. 🙂
You’re lucky, Amy! With birds like that right outside your window any kind of day tends to improve 🙂
Wonderful quotes and images, Helen. 🙂
Thank you Sylvia. I hope you’re feeling much better tonight and have a wonderful day tomorrow 🙂
I love the muted shades. 🙂
Thanks Celestine. These are my favorite colors, but somehow I haven’t used them in my work lately…need to correct that going forward 🙂
Very NICE!
Thank you Andy!
Absolutely beautiful! Congratulations!
Thank you kindly, Cecilia.
Lovely musings…
Happy you enjoyed Kathy! Bumble says his book is on its way…
Thank you, Helen and please say thanks to Bumble too!
Absolutely gorgeous images, Tiny! Rumi’s wisdom is timeless. Have a great week!
Thanks Noora! It is timeless indeed. His poetry was the first spark for me to try my hand on writing poems. Have a wonderful week you too!
Beautiful, creative post-processing!
Love your amazing creativity– but your brilliantly chosen quote at the very end filled my heart with sunshine!! Thank you Tiny! I’ve been traveling and hope all is well in your beautiful world!!!
