“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
― Rumi
I love Rumi’s writings. He has a wisdom and modernism far beyond his time. Re-read that phrase. Then ponder all that it contains. I have an opinion myself. (of course!)
How we perceive ourselves can be an obstacle in life. I say this this because our perception of our self is very often fed by comments or situations that are not always founded in logic or even reality. I have spent most of my life studying human nature, psychology, spirituality in many forms and the artistic process. Yet it is only now that my heart has come to understand, and then explain to my head, who I am. For most of my life my identity had been puzzle pieces put together from a variety of images. My mind had made the pieces fit together but the end result was not quite right. My heart did not see things the same way. In letting go of my false impression of myself (some may call this the ego’s view,) I found a wonderful being I plan to spend the rest of my life with: me.
You may think I am full of myself right now. That’s ok. I am. I am full. I am so full that there is now enough to overflow into lots of great songs, paintings, food, love and just having fun. Oh yeah, I am a girl. So it goes without saying, I want the love, the shoes and I wanna have fun too!
Namaste!
