A Little Something of Our Sameness.

“This is the subtle truth; whatever you love, you are.” – Rumi

My darlings, this morning I wanted to share one of my favorite passages from poet, Jalāl ad-Dīn Rumi. One which speaks to the depth of our interconnectedness; and whose threads form the very fabric of humanity.

“Whatever you love, you are…”

My goodness, what a brilliantly compelling truth. That I, in looking to the eyes of another, see myself in that ‘reflection’ before me.

In their stillness, I find my own sense of calm. And, in their suffering, I find compassion growing. It’s all right there, all at once – every inkling, every stirring – intended to reinforce these threads of connection, and show us just what it means to be human.

It’s this ‘oneness’ which connects us all, my loves. A boundless peace manifested through our journey.

And, when we’re able to break free of these barriers to love – only then, can we finally step into the wholeness of our being.

“Whatever you love, you are…”

My darlings, in this way – you and I are one in the same.

Namaste <3
