“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I‘ll meet you there.”
Love, love this quote!
Several of Rumi‘s writing draws upon on these types of contrasts and comparisons on how everything manifests in relation to another and everything, both good and bad, is therefore necessary. An interesting point of view.
“Sit with your friends; don‘t go back to sleep.
Don‘t sink like a fish to the bottom of the sea.”
Nothing to do but stay warm and read.
Happy Holidays everyone!!! 🎄❤️
“Become like melted snow; wash yourself of yourself.
With love your inner voice will find a tongue
Growing like a silent white lily in the heart”
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in the grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Rumi, from A Great Wagon

Ok Littens. I've been progressing in my post-election existential crisis and I'm passed depression, on to... voracious contemplation of the meaning of life and our place in it. I am looking for recommendations: books that opened your eyes, opened your heart, were life-altering and soul-searching. Religion, philosophy, psychology, mysticism, social justice... hit me with your recommendations. If it rocked your world-view, I want to read it!
so-so
