Long ago, Rumi, my favorite poet, wrote exquisitely about Love. Did he just get lucky and meet a fabulous woman who he found romance with? Of course not. What Rumi wrote about was his perception of life through the lens of his heart. Staying in his heart, he felt deeply and saw clearly the world of Spirit filled with opportunity for connection and oneness, passion and joy.
We too can look through that lens of the heart and see what Rumi saw in life and in others. Perhaps at first as we begin to shift our awareness we won’t always be able to remain in the heart, that’s okay. It is the glimpses of beauty and perfection there, along with the deep feelings of peace and deep rooted connection to others that will keep us coming back again and again. The journey to the heart is a process. And those moments in which we have fallen away are the very gifts from Spirit that we are to use to find our way back home again.
