The Beauty We Love

Let the beauty we love
be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel
in prayer.

In every action that we do,
in everything we do,
we should treat each other
with the soft hand.
Not the callused hand
of the woodcutter,
but the soft hand of the flower
anpu, the inner flower of the heart.

I missed this beautiful Rumi.

Thank you Inda for sharing it with us.

I still enjoy this post very much.

Thank you yoko for bringing back this lovely post.

Thank you for bringing back this old post.

That which God said to the rose,

and caused it to laugh in full blown beauty,

He said to my heart,

and made it a hundred times more beautiful.
