Pick up your instrument

— Jalaluddin Rumi, Sufi poet, born Persia (Iran), died Turkey (1207 – 1273)

This day, like any day, you may wake up empty and fearful.

Before you begin your day’s efforts and thinking,
pick up an instrument and make music.

Let the beauty you most love be what you do.
There are countless ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

Let the beauty you most love be what you do.
There are countless ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

Welcome. Rumi’s words are needed every day. How prescient he was. How “tuned” to what matters mot.
