Excerpt
Let Leaves shoot quivering Tongues out, Love's Questionings in Play; And whisp'ring to each other, Love's Wrangling vain, make New. Hark! How the Morning Breezes, at rosy Dawn all call: Up! Up! O Friend, 'tis Spring-time: the Soul's glad Reign, make New!

✨ To meditate on today
According to Rumi, spring is the image of the renewal that divine love brings to the soul: the leaves seem to talk to one another and the dawn breezes call everyone to rise for a new life. Today, when you wake up or while you are outside, listen to a sound of nature — the wind, a bird, the leaves — and receive it as a personal call to begin your day in joy.
