Ruminating with Rumi
Reach beyond your boundaries. You do not have to remain under a bushel. Be the light that you are. Do not bury yourself in the body and say, this is all there is. Do not gather, sort, and process. Burn like a candle. Cast yourself into the beyond. Rise from the ashes one last time and fly. Give way to the wind. Soar. Shine as the light you are for all the world to see.
Do not react to the world. The results will drive you nuts. Be thoughtful. Be mindful. Do not jump on every pony in the field. Observe. Do not ride. Be aware without attaching to your thoughts and emotions. Such ponies only carry you away unbridled. They are not you. You are wisdom. Wisdom is your true nature. Wisdom is the light. It knows the way. Wisdom arises from the quiet darkness of the room within. Sit in its silence. Do nothing. Receive what you never lost. You will be born into a new day. Its dawn will reveal you as the light in darkness. Give your lips to the morning dew. Lick its sweet pleasure. Feel its dampness on your skin. The sun is rising. The skies are clearing. Watch the ponies prance as they frolic on this new day. Observe, but do not ride.
