Rumi: Quatrains


Sometimes you hear a voice through
the door calling you, as fish out of

water hear the waves or a hunting
falcon hears the drums come back.

This turning toward what you deeply love
saves you.
  -- Rumi

Today's guidance from The Rumi Card Book: 
Reward Card -- Dawn:  Its breezes swim with musk; Wake-up!  Breathe in this fragrance!  A wonderful fresh beginning is inviting you to act:  Be aware!
Category explanation from the book: The divine Love that urges our journey ever onward also constantly and lavishly rewards us for every sacrifice we make and every action of true generosity that we undertake.  When the eyes of Love really open in us, we see that life is an unbroken stream of ordinary miracles and that just to be alive is a matchless reward.

  1. Oh my... When the eyes of Love really open in us, we see that life is an unbroken stream of ordinary miracles and that just to be alive is a matchless reward.

    Really, what could be better than that?
