Dag Hammarskjöld,
MarkingsIn the point of rest at the center or our being. we encounter a world where all things are at rest in the same way, Then a tree becomes a mystery, a cloud a revelation, each man a cosmos of whose riches we can only catch glimpses. The life of simplicity is simple, but it opens to us a book in which we never get beyond the first syllable.
Every Morning
Rumi, the Persian poet, wrote in the thirteenth century.
The 16 lines above reflect my reality in my first 30 minutes of writing and my first cup of java every morning.

I appreciate this Rumi poem, as well. One thing I've learned and for which I'm most grateful is not to have any regrets about those things I invited into my life (consciously, for the most part), despite the pain they might have caused. Everything contains a valuable lesson if we allow ourselves that. And each one left me in a better place, a place of increased understanding, a new awareness.
