Rumi’s Reflection Journal: join Alison Wem on her journey as she experiences the Covid pandemic

Many of us feel constrained by the attempts of our governments to control the virus – lockdowns, curfews, isolation from our loved ones.

We are never really alone. Going within and reflecting opens up a whole new world. While meditation calms us, I have found having something to reflect on and to sense my own feelings, is a constructive practice that helps me to re-connect with the wisdom of my soul.

To help me with my reflections on Rumi’s poetry, I have chosen to use Paper Trail’s book – Rumi’s Reflection Journal. It gives me individual Rumi quotes to consider. Thank you Paper Trail.

Day 1: 12th December 2020

You are not a drop in the ocean.

You are the entire Ocean, in a drop

                              Jalal  al-Din Rumi

During lockdown I have met my soul. She is called Lucinda. I always have Lucinda with me, a spark of the Divine within whom I can find all that is Divine.

I am seeking to know Lucinda better, to listen to her promptings in my life. I feel an increasing ‘knowing’ within me which I am seeking to engage with in everyday life –  at home and at work.

This ‘knowing’ takes me beyond my normal mediumship capabilities to a depth of wisdom no single person is able to achieve even in a number of lives.
