Excerpt
The Desert oft no Water shows, But never Sand the Traveller fails. From the Desert I will guide him who me as Leader hails. To where living Waters flow, To the Garden Love empales. Bathe there in Abundance full, Where no hostile Drought assails. Full, that Stream Bath, now enjoy'd, Freedom from Sand Bath entails.

✨ To meditate on today
According to Rumi, the spiritual master promises to guide through the desert whoever takes him as guide, to the living waters and to the Garden surrounded by Love, where one bathes in abundance. Today, when you feel you are in a “desert”, dry or tired, look for a spring that truly quenches your thirst: a wise word, a prayer, a moment in nature, and give it real time.
