Nothing’s happening
Yet everything is here Now
I breathe in silence.
I wait in silence
For a small sign from above
To take the next step.
The day goes to sleep
Never to wake up again
Blue silence remains.
Life crafts miracles
In the silence of the night
I trust and exhale.
“The morning wind spreads its fresh smell.
We must get up and take that in,
that wind that lets us live.
Breathe before it’s gone.”
– Rumi
With an eye made quiet
by the power of harmony,
and the deep power of joy,
we see into the life of things.
– William Wordsworth
I like the sentiment of a quiet eye. An eye that not only sees the blessings we have, but also the blessings we can give to others. An eye that appreciates the message and the joy of the Season. And sees into the life of all things, much beyond the hubbub going on around us.
“You are not
a drop in the ocean.
You are the entire ocean
in a drop.”
– Rumi
This is my first musing for the week. Something to contemplate. How we see ourselves, internally and in relation to others, everything that is. Connectedness. Contribution. Harmony. Storms and calmness. Movement. And whatever else these words might mean to us individually.
I hope to continue with these musings on Monday mornings whenever possible, sharing quotes I value, new poems or just simple thoughts I like to reflect upon. And an illustration to go with the train of thought.
Have a wonderful week.
“Listen with ears of tolerance!
See through the eyes of compassion!
Speak with the language of love”
― Rumi
This is a great reminder for our times, I feel.
Happy Thanksgiving! ❤ Tiny
Wisdom is like the rain.
Its source is limitless,
but it comes down according to the season.
– Rumi
I want to sing
Like the birds sing
Not worrying about who hears
Or what they think.
– Rumi
But listen to me.
For one moment quit being sad.
Hear blessings dropping their blossoms around you.
– Rumi
