✨ To meditate on today

According to Shabistari, a Persian Sufi poet, the tavern and the intoxication are images of divine love: this love fills the heart of every atom, from the earth up to the sky. Today, rest your gaze on something simple — a tree, a cup, a face — and remember that it too is filled with this loving presence.
