Hello Rumi Tuesday! Can you see yourself, the mirror of your existence, within this poetry from our beloved Rumi? "Inside your face the ancient manuscripts seem like rusty mirrors.

Hello Rumi Tuesday! Love so needs to love…

Last updated on: June 7, 2017 at 8:27 am By Mastura Debra Graugnard

Hello Rumi Tuesday! "Love so needs to love that it will endure almost anything, even abuse, just to flicker for a moment." by Jalaluddin Rumi. Life's challenges can dampen the flame of light in the heart, yet love still yearns for itself. The more love gets constricted inside, the louder it cries out. But the flame never goes out. It just waits for the oil lamp to pour its oil and enliven the eternal flame once again. Read more

Last updated on: May 23, 2017 at 12:02 am By Mastura Debra Graugnard

"I am so close, I may look distant. So completely mixed with you, I may look separate. So out in the open, I appear hidden. So silent, because I am constantly talking with you." ~Rumi. Why do we cheat ourselves by thinking we know the secrets of our existence? May we never stop asking "What lies beyond?" and "What lies within?" Read more

Last updated on: May 16, 2017 at 8:24 am By Mastura Debra Graugnard

Before death takes away what you are given, give away what there is to give. Jalal id-din Rumi. Mother's Day with my 94-year-old father opened my eyes to what is most important in life, what truly brings us close to God. A living example puts things in perspective and resets priorities better than years of study and healing, yet it all has its place... Read more
