Why are you so busy

with this or that,

or good or bad?

Pay attention to how things blend.

Be like sugarcane,

sweet yet silent.

Don’t get entangled with bitter words.

~Rumi

when I make believe how I want to be….

inquiry for today~ come home again….

to all that feels miraculous…

Peace is letting go-

returning to the silence

that cannot enter the realm of words

because it is too pure to be contained in words.

~Malidoma Patrice Some
