Inspiration – See More

 

roses in beautiful landscape

My Face
is everywhere –
and
all you are
gazing at is
roses.

– Jalal-ud-Din Rumi
(Translated by Andrew Harvey from A Year of Rumi)

 

Let’s open more than our eyes and see with our heart and soul the wonder of it all 💛

    So very true, Val 🙂
    To see with the heart, I have noticed, it is necessary to move my attention from the head and look outside the body.

      Even in the dark, there is more to open up to seeing. It’s just our thoughts that get in the way in the wee hours! Thanks David 💛

    I am so lucky that I get to do this most days Val I make time to sit on my deck and appreciate the air we breathe, the sun on my face and to be still. That is until the dogs and cats come looking for my attention.

    I’m sorry . . . what’s wrong with stopping to smell (& gaze at) the roses?! 😀

    I’m a real advocate of stopping to smell the roses too Nancy. Perhaps it’s the first step i opening to appreciate and love so much more than the obvious 💕
