When you unexpectedly wake to snow in April you must immediately crawl back into bed with your Rumi, hot tea, and all the kitties to wait for spring to come back

💭 maybe the tagged book as it was shared with me by a special friend of mine, a kindred who happens to be in the elite forces
Thank you for the tag, @TheSpineView 💕
My last Rumi poem of 2023. I don‘t think I‘ve ever enjoyed a daily reader so much, or ever planned to flip right back to the beginning before and spend a second year with one to see how the selections strike me differently on new days.
It‘s 410 BC & Xenophon leads a 10k strong army of Greek mercenaries, retreating from a failed attempt by their Persian paymaster, Cyrus, to seize the throne from his brother after their father dies. As they make their way back to the Black Sea & eventually Greece, they battle hostile natives & hardships caused by the terrain. Granted, it‘s a classic but it was a bit of a slog. It‘s repetitive & monotonous but, like Xenophon, I got there in the end
My year with RUMI has been wonderful.
10 days left..
"Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes.
Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation."
- Rumi
