Response To Rumi
"If you desire healing,
let yourself fall ill
let yourself fall ill."
- Jalaluddin Rumi
**************************************************
The more sharp shovels strike, bruise and rip soil asunder,
the deeper is the well for life affirming, healing water to fill, swell and remedy all inflicted wounds.
The more sticks of a needles' honed, crisp and knife-like point enter as blade through unshaped and raw material, the more it forms into an ultimately wearable garment of refined, sophisticated and confident cloth.
The more clay is laid raw to bear and endure the torturous heat of a pottery kiln, the more it becomes complete as timeless, ceramic beauty.
And so it is that the deeper we humans fall in need from illness, the more healing can destroy the barriers that block our inner core of soul prescriptions from flowing with truth awareness.
