“The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you
Don’t go back to sleep!
You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep!
People are going back and forth
across the doorsill where the two worlds touch,
The door is round and open
Don’t go back to sleep!” Rumi
The photograph used in today’s Rx is one that I snapped with my phone on Saturday. I was on my way home from a memorial service and although my heart was heavy with sorrow and my eyes were red rimmed from tears, my soul was wide awake to the wisdom that the doorway between worlds is ever present, and always right before us.
As I drove, I looked up into a sky that was threatening rain. There within the clouds was that doorway Rumi speaks of…. Wide open with visible light rays streaming through it.
Sometimes our tears serve the purpose of keeping us awake…. and sometimes the clouds show us the doorways….
‘‘People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch, the door is round and open. Don’t go back to sleep.’
