My Response To Rumi

My Response to Rumi. Scars have the power to remind, that we are strong,we can heal says Rumi,a legendary Persian poet inspired by sufi and spiritual teachers. Illness prepares us for relief,for more peace, it sweeps into us so that strength enters to relieve us more. Raw gold is burnt to a certain temperature, so that it comes out to be more refined, it glows and has better purity value. A sapling survives all odds, facing storms and heavy rains,dry weather, it goes ahead upright to transform into a strong grown tree. Pain is a great helper, it brings out the soldier in you. You swim along in the sea to survive, and land on the shore more strong,more relieved. Quote-"If you desire healing, let yourself fall ill, let yourself fall ill. Jalaluddin Rumi.

"Pain is a great helper, it brings out the soldier in you." Perfect, Rizwana. And it's not fun to soldier on, but better to go ahead and do it.
