Do not go to the garden of flowers!

Do not go to the garden of flowers!

O Friend! go not there;

In your body is the garden of flowers.

Take your seat on the thousand petals of the lotus,

and there gaze on the Infinite Beauty.

~Rumi

can I pause long enough to know?

inquiry for today~ may you forgive the questions….

when the heart knows….

The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love –

whether we call it friendship or family or romance –

is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light.

~James Baldwin
