“How should Spring bring forth a garden on hard stone? Become earth, that you may grow flowers of many colors. For you have been heart-breaking rock. Once, for the sake of experiment, be earth!”
Poem by Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī, was a 13th-century Persian poet, Islamic scholar, theologian, and Sufi mystic originally from Greater Khorasan in Greater Iran. (1207 -1273)
REFLECTION:
It is officially spring. Examine how you have become hard.
How can you create a garden that will allow flowers to grow?
How can you “be earth?”
