"Your task is not to seek love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. " Quote by Rumi Seek not the right person Seek to be made right within Travel to your soul's depths See what is wrong, repair Stay long, search, take deep breaths Seek not the right person Pray for help in being right Search your soul, then love comes If you love at all times True love will overcome Seek not the right person Learn to give of yourself Freely share worldly goods Love others as you should Stay away from falsehoods Seek not the right person Learn to build souls up Reach down fill empty cups With kind words each day Let us all be grownups Seek not the right person But right within your soul Not self-righteous and proud We can be wonderful A heart just ploughed and sowed

Oh wow, this monchielle stanza poem is do heartfelt and soulful dear Sara.. I'm loving how you've shared that meaningful quote by Rumi and also painted a tapestry of wisdom within these poetic words.. We must not seek the right person, rather heal and rebuild ourselves with correct conscience.. Positive things will then automatically be manifested in our lives.. So rightly said! I absolutely loved reading your words, beautifully crafted! Sending love & light :)

So true and wise words by Rumi you’ve shared with us. Sometimes we forget what we seek outside is merely within us, and we need this reminder to seek within not outside: and i love the picture youv used too! Art of ignorance .. and art of knowing, they make sense: pleasure reading you! Sending you light always
