My Response To Rumi

My Response To Rumi A composite man was this Rumi Mystic who penned ‘Spiritual Couplets’ thousands of magical lines of Persian poetry deep he lives on in simple (?) bites of three lines condensed confluent cracking proverbial nutshells soft in their core He’s buried in the Konya of Anatolian wisdom a place I am seeking to visit on my insider travels and have been compelled from into imagination and spirit of mind where the tree of life throws seeds on the shadows of tumbling body and soul ~~ Rumi lives on once we destroy what destroys us tear down the partitions ~~ ‘Healing by allowing to fall ill’ ‘searching for defenses within’ barriers fortresses imposing enclosures self built contraptions that prevent love kindness compassion Dysfunction and illness derive from inside thus we can either attempt to strive against mere symptoms and torturous outcrops bandage the hurt on the surface or take a good look at the messages crises fall together for a while reflect with serene mirrors of honesty reject the temptation futile attempts of aligning broken shards into yet another fragmentation sinking once more into darkness Rummaging rumination and running head on into the same walls again and again never achieved to manage my mangled madness into meaning and peace but acceptance and searching inside with the purpose of healing following three ~~ simple lines brought Rumi to life and myself back into light and true love~~ 27th November 2016 "If you desire healing,  let yourself fall ill  let yourself fall ill."  -  Jalaluddin Rumi
