Quote by Rumi

RUMI

Your way begins on the other side
Become the sky.
Take an axe to the prison wall,
Escape.
Walk out like someone suddenly born into color.
Do it now.

I find this quote to be so telling, so true for each and everyone that is letting fear drive them during this difficult time. For the fear each one has fashioned is but a prison wall from within and each person needs to look to the other side. For it is there freedom resides.

Take care and be well all.

  1. So true, if only people would realise just what fear is doing to them…. Where as Nelson Mandela who was imprisoned and confined to such a tiny space.. Knew Freedom… Why? Because he held no fear, for he knew his Mind was Free… ❤
    Love your Rumi Quote Renee… thank you .. ❤

    1. Good analogy, Sue! Viktor Frankl also leaps to mind.

      Most of us really do not know how easy we have it. And because we have it so easy, we have the luxury of our minds making up all sorts of dramas that, together with time and tide, become existence. But we have choices! 💞

    2. Thank you Sue. It is somewhat ironic that within these last months beginning in September, I myself, have awakened to my life and all that I have missed in my long life. I don’t intend to be fearful again in the way that I was and I do hope for all people that they some day are able to do the same. xoxo
