ENCOURAGEMENT OF LIGHT

How

Did the rose

Ever open its heart

And give to this world

All its

Beauty?

It felt the encouragement of light

Against its Being

Otherwise,

We all remain

Too

Frightened.

Poem by Hafiz

REFLECTION:

  • Who has been a light for you – encouraging you to open… bloom?
  • Who have you been a light for?
  • Is there someone you know who is frightened … needs the encouragement of light to open their heart?
  • Reach out to someone today who needs encouragement.

WINGS

You were born with wings, why do you prefer to crawl through life?

Rumi – 13th Century Poet

RISK TO BLOOM

And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk to bloom.

Quote by Anais Nin

REFLECTION:

  • Explore your risk vs. safety.
  • Do you play it safe? 
  • Do you take too many risks?
  • What scares you?
  • What would opening to your fears… willingness to take a risk look like?
  • If you were to fully “bloom” what would that look like?
