Excerpt
Like the heavenly Scribe, He will open your heart's book That He may reveal mysteries unto you. Abide with your Friend, since you have gone astray, Strive to be a full moon; you are now a fragment thereof. Wherefore this shrinking of the part from its whole? Why this association with its foes? Behold Genus become Species in due course, Behold secrets become manifest through His light!

✨ To meditate on today
According to Rumi, the Persian Sufi poet, God, the Friend, is like a heavenly scribe who opens the book of your heart to reveal its secrets to you: whoever has drifted away is invited to come back close to Him, as the crescent moon is called to become a full moon. Today, take a moment to turn to God as to a friend, and simply entrust to Him what you carry in your heart.
