I loved the poem by Rumi. It spoke to me deeply and as I am in another dark nite of the soul time in my life, I truely see now that the many guest who are here visiting are not me, guests who do want my attention. This visual has given me a clear image of what I am to do next and how. I have been asking the Universe how to get rid of these heavy burdens of anger, disappointment, regrets, blame, depression which descended upon me in january, midlife crisis, and now I see them as angels, here to get me on the right path again. I need to give them time. I need to truly accept them and listen. And I need to grant myself the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, cahnge the things I can, and the wisdom to know the diference….Thank you. This was so beautiful. Hope.

I never understood this quote from Rumi before today…I couldn’t imagine welcoming with open arms all the pain I felt. But I finally allowed myself to sit with my feelings today without fighting them off. I experieced them more as an energy buzzing through my mind and body, and it traveled, did it’s thing, and then began to dissipate. Maybe it did just want to be heard. What you resist really does persist, I get it now. And I feel such relief – more than I’ve felt in a long time. Now I just want to practice sitting with my feelings, accepting them, and allowing them to be.
