Move Within


Keep walking, though there's no place to get to.
Don't try to see through the distances.
That's not for human beings. Move within,
but don't move the way fear makes you move.

  1. This reminds me of Anne Lamott's suggestion to writers. We can only write as far ahead as the headlights illuminate the road, no further. It's another way perhaps of saying one step at a time.

    This one is definitely going on the wall. Thank you.

At the request of a Rumi Reader, I have enabled comments, because I agree that someone, sometime might want to write about the power of Rumi's words. So many times they have met me in ways I just have to share, and so I want you to have that opportunity here. There is no expectation for comments, but please do write something if you feel the urge. ~ Ruth
