As we prolonged our fingers, palms up, he softly quoted Rumi: ‘What you search is looking for you.”

I, with arms outstretched, stood transfixed.

What if that have been true? What if my want is heading in direction of me like a warmth looking for missile? What if (gasp!) I not wanted to battle?

It felt farfetched, however throughout Downward Canine, I decided. I’m taking Rumi’s phrases as gospel reality.

I raced residence, keen to begin engaged on a brand-new program, one thing I’d been dreaming about doing for years, however saved procrastinating as a result of it was a topic I hadn’t taught earlier than. (Trace: it’s not monetary however non secular).

Superb how a tiny shift in notion can have such a huge impact.
