Rumi’s Reflections: Alison Wem’s Journal – Day 5

Published by Alison Wem on

Greed makes man blind and foolish,

And makes him an easy prey for death

                                                                                        Jalal al-Din Rumi

There are some among us who choose to worship the great god ‘Money’. I have observed that when they have achieved wealth, far from bringing great joy, it brings more work and worry on how to retain it.

Everyone needs a comfortable and safe home, food and warm clothes for their personal well-being. Anything beyond that is a luxury. The time and energy it takes to achieve this ‘luxury’ can make you poor. Poor in time and energy to focus on your relationships, personal study and just enjoying the gift of life.

Rumi’s Reflections: Alison Wem’s Journal – Day 14

It’s your road and your road alone.

Others may walk it with you, but no

one can walk it for you.

Jalal al-Din Rumi

My life is my own – who I choose to be friends with, to love and how I want to just ‘be’ in this life of mine.

Of course there have been and will continue to be bumps on my road. But it is my choice how I react to and handle those bumps.

Some bumps I find harder than others, especially when I loose someone. But I am grateful for the time I have had with them and the chance to give and receive their love.

As I have got older and look back on the road I have travelled, I can see the bumps I have negotiated including those I made harder for myself.

Enjoying the ‘now’ and leading a simpler life has made my bumps more endurable. I am learning to walk a smoother road going forwards.

Rumi’s Reflections: Alison Wem’s Journal – Day 13

I have been a seeker and I still am,

But I stopped asking the books and the stars.

I started listening to the teaching of my soul.

Jalal al-Din Rumi

We are much wiser than we often realise. By getting to know yourself better, you will meet your soul.

In the silence and peace of my inner landscape, I met my soul. I realised I had been talking with her for years but didn’t realise who she was. She has been a consistent companion in good times and bad. She is my greatest friend, objective rather than emotional and a wise and compassionate person. I need to listen to her more….

Dance, when you’re broken open.

Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off.

Dance in the middle of the fighting.

Dance in your blood.

Dance when you’re perfectly free.

Jalal al-Din Rumi

Dance is freedom of movement. When your physical body feels free, your soul experiences a feeling of freedom even while being on the physical plane in a physical body. Dance when you feel down, when you feel happy, when you need to relieve stress or sorrow.

Dance is freedom.
