Excerpt
Thou art exalted, a full moon rising over the heart, a moon that never sets after it hath risen. May I be thy ransom, O thou who art glorious in beauty and pride! for thou hast no equal amongst the fair. Thy gardens are wet with dew and thy roses are blooming, and thy beauty is passionately loved: it is welcome to all. Thy flowers are smiling and thy boughs are fresh: wherever they bend, the winds bend towards them.

✨ To meditate on today
According to Ibn Arabi, an Andalusian mystic, the beloved he sings, a full moon that never sets and an image of divine beauty, is loved by all and welcomes everyone: her gardens bloom and her boughs bend toward every wind. Today, notice a beauty around you that is offered to all, a flower, a light, a sky, then offer a warm welcome yourself to the first person you meet.
