HOW A HUMAN CAN CHANGE
This Is How A Human Being Can Change
There’s a worm addicted to eating grape leaves.
Suddenly, he wakes up.
Call it grace, whatever something wakes him,
And he’s no longer a worm.
He’s the entire vineyard.
And the orchard too, the fruit, the trunks.
A growing wisdom and joy that doesn’t need to devour.
Poem by Rumi
REFLECTION:
- We often doubt our ability to change. Something happens to wake us up… a transformational experience and we are no longer the same… no longer a worm but someone much larger .. an entire vineyard. As a result you realize you no longer need so much stuff.
- Has this happened to you?
- Call it grace or whatever.. but change can and does happen.
- Are you willing to change… be changed?
