Earth ever appears to me as a Paradise.

Excerpt

I am ever in concord with this father of ours, And earth ever appears to me as a Paradise. Each moment a fresh form, a new beauty, So that weariness vanishes at these ever-fresh sights. I see the world filled with blessings, Fresh waters ever welling up from new fountains.

✨ To meditate on today

According to Rumi, whoever lives in concord with “this father,” Universal Reason, that is, the wisdom God has placed in the world, sees the earth as a Paradise: at every moment a new beauty, blessings welling up like fresh springs. Today, note three new or beautiful things you had not noticed yesterday, and give thanks for each one.
