RUMI

How does one describe the indescribable? Is it even possible to put pure love into words? How do we express our connection to the creative energy that exists in us all? We do so in every good action, in every positive vibration we send outward to the universe. Please enjoy the following from one of my favorites, the Sufi poet Rumi:

Your love lifts my soul from the body to the sky
And you lift me up out of the two worlds.
I want your sun to reach my raindrops,
So your heat can raise my soul upward like a cloud.

Rumi expresses his connection to the creative source by allowing his absolute understanding of that connection to flow through him. How does he do it? By giving up, by giving in, and by giving over all to whatever may come. Love is never present in the absence of the truth... If you have a chance to read a few of his many other works, I'm sure you'll see how Rumi allows that truth to be expressed in each and every syllable.

 For all those who express their connection to the creative source in whatever you do. In whatever form you allow the thoughts and ideas birthed within you from the great nothing to flow through you, that is your own personal link to the source. Like the seeds that give way to the apple that produces more seeds that are once again planted to produce more in a never-ending cycle, these thoughts and ideas that come from the light inside you are alive. They have a birth and a death. Only you can decide how long they live. Will you protect your gifts from the creator and allow them to flourish?

Nothing ventured, nothing gained my friend...
