Rumi’s Reflections: Alison Wem’s Journal – Day 3
Take someone who doesn’t keep score,
who’s not looking to be richer, or afraid of losing,
who has not the slightest interest even in
his own personality: He’s free.
Jalal al-Din Rumi
This is someone who can just be. Do I just want to ‘be’? Having no agenda is good and very relaxing. But I came into this body for a purpose. I am afraid I may fail, so I am not fully the person Rumi describes. All I can do is my best. No-one can ask more of me than that. No-one seeks to fail.
