words of wisdom


Love, the new moon, grows slowly, stage by stage;
We should progress like that, deliberately, with patience.
I hear the new moon whispering, "Impatient fool!"
It is only step by step you climb to the roof.
Be a seasoned cook, let the pot boil little by little;
A stew cooked in mad haste tastes terrible.
~Rumi

Remember these words when you feel
impatient
wondering if it will happen.

Remember these words when you feel
tired
wondering if it's worth it.

Remember these words when you feel
anxious
wondering what to do next.

Remember these words when you feel
confused
wondering if you've lost your way.

Today I'm thinking of all the people I know that might benefit by Rumi wisdom.

Love, the new moon, grows slowly, stage by stage.
