The inspiration for this journal is Rumi's observation that "there are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground", from his poem "Spring Giddiness"
"Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, 'Where have I gone wrong?' Then a voice says to me, 'This is going to take more than one night.'"--Charlie Brown
This is a place where I plop anything that tickles my fancy (which is an infinite number of things). I hope something tickles yours too. Thanks for visiting! Anita
Today, like every other day, we wake up empty and frightened. Don't open the door to the study and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument. Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground." ... Jalahad Rumi
... Rumi reminds me of the infinite number of ways to express one's self: with music, painting, poetry, journaling, collage, dancing. It's infinite.
... I also like to remind myself of Gandhi's words "Be the change you want to see in the world."
