I am Often Seeking





















I am often seeking... seeking health, seeking love, seeking relief from pain, seeking joy. I remember a poem by Rumi, and think, if only I could remember...

"If you are in search of the place of the soul, you are the soul.
If you are in search of a morsel of bread, you are the bread.
If you know this secret, then you know
that whatever you seek, you are that."

I just felt my shoulders fall a couple of inches and my whole being relax, reading that. I've copied it to post on my bathroom mirror. Thanks, lovely Liz!
