Fragments of thought, not essays of instruction.

brief and unhurried, offered as a way of paying attention.

In his words
Reflections
“In the realm of love — that comes in many forms and dimensions which often do not meet our eyes — we wish happy valentines to our souls, truly teaching us the very essence of love.”
— Rumi
“Like the abstract art, we are now and then seeking and exploring our own abstracts — until a beautiful part of us unfolds, without our egos brushing the final stroke.”
— Rumi
“The off beaten track is sometimes the golden detour that we need to take to truly rediscover the beaten track so often travelled.”
— Rumi
“Walking in the golden footsteps of Mother Nature — whether arid deserts or blooming flower gardens or the coral reefs — engulfs us in the love of introspection, and letting one’s soul go where it truly desires.”
— Rumi
“The inklings in our hearts are like beautiful drops of dew on leaves and grassy meadows blending with the misty sunlight of our existence — adding life to a day rather than a day to our lives.”
— Rumi
