Quote of the Week - Rumi


Inside this new love,

die.

Your way begins on the other side.

Become the sky.

Take an axe to the prison wall.

Escape.

Walk out like someone suddenly born into color.

Do it now.

You’re covered with a thick cloud.

Slide out the side.

Die,

and be quiet.

Quietness is the surest sign

that you’ve died.

Your old life was a frantic running from silence.

The speechless full moon comes out now.

- Rumi

I know!  Go ahead - be mad at me for too much Rumi!  But how could I resist this end of year/full moon quote posted by Daniel Stewart of Rising Lotus Yoga?  Could you?

Become the sky.

What better advice can there be?


HAPPIEST NEW YEAR!

2013!
