Rumi: “Let
the beauty we love be what we do.”
 |
| Sunrise today |
Beauty: …quality that gives intense pleasure or
deep satisfaction; meaningful
pattern
or design…
Love: …profoundly tender; passionate
affection; warm attachment…
Be: …exist;
occur; continue…
Do: …accomplish;
exert; put forth; bring about…

Let the beauty we see, touch, hear, smell, taste be what we
offer.
Let the shadow, darkness, sorrow, hatred we see be the
touchstone to move us back into the deep core heart of love.
Let the impatience, greed, selfishness we see be the mirror
back into our own shadowy places.
Let the light be the beacon we offer.
Let the pain be the wisdom that teaches.
Let the extraneous things gently slough off so that each
moment is a prayer to the highest calling we can summon.
Let the in-breath fill and heal and soothe.
Let the out-breath relax us into surrender.
Let the mantra of each moment be that very moment itself, in
its rich fullness.
Let the fear we perceive outside of us show us the path back
into the places within that are fearful…
Let us face them head on: the light and the darkness. And with that
unfettered, compassionate honesty may we live gratefully and graciously.
