Hello there

Hard to believe that I haven’t written anything since April. Seasons have come and gone. Autumn turned into Spring, which turned into Summer, which is quietly turning into Fall. Without a big fuss or deadlines, just gently changing clothes, preparing itself for the next show. Life really does go on.

I wanted to share these beautiful words by Rumi (who if you do not know him, consider learning more). There's no better way to get inspired to write and reflect more. Rumi breathes life into words, like no one else. Gifted with an eye to gaze deeply into the soul of being a human. Here's what he has to say:

You were born with wings.
Why prefer to crawl through life?

Oh soul,
you worry too much.
You have seen your own strength.
You have seen your own beauty.
You have seen your golden wings.
Of anything less,
why do you worry?
You are in truth
the soul, of the soul, of the soul.

Your task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek and find
all the barriers within yourself
that you have built against it.

Rumi
