HAPPY BIRTHDAY from RUMI

Today, August 5, is Katie's birthday. I want to wish her well on her birthday. A few years ago, Fiddler gave me a book of Rumi poems. The book's name is Hidden Music. (Rumi was a Persian mystic and poet who lived in the 1200's.) Every now and then, I like to browse through that book. I also discovered a Rumi website. I found some notable quotes to share with Katie on her special day.

Be grateful for whoever comes because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

Whatever you love you are.

Let the beauty of what you are be what you do.

Unfold your own myth.

And Finally

Listen to the presence inside poems. Let them take you where they will.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE

Thank you for sharing Rumi's words on my birthday, Honor. :) I especially like "Whatever you love you are." Makes me pause and RUMInate a bit. I love my Fiddler Kin. :) Thanks, Honor.
