The Spring has come; again the Sower sows.

Excerpt

The Spring has come; again the Sower sows, And all the Season's Moil is in my Heart. The Veil which hid the World's fair face is drawn; Disclosed, its inmost Coil is in my Heart. The Heart must higher rise, than setting Suns; The Sun-dance nought can foil is in my Heart.

✨ To meditate on today

According to Rumi, the Persian Sufi poet (he calls himself Jeláleddín in this poem), the heart has its spring: God, the Sower, sows His seeds there again, the veil that hid the beauty of the world is lifted, and the heart rises higher than the setting suns, in a dance nothing can stop. Today, watch for a sign of renewal around you — a shoot, a flower, a smile — and welcome it as a seed sown in your heart.
