Rumi’s Reflections: Alison Wem’s Journal – Day 10
Be like a
TREE
and let the
dead leaves
DROP
Jalal al-Din Rumi
As you develop spiritually, some of the people and things in your life no longer please you. This is alright and as it should be. You have developed and your hopes and wishes have changed with you.
Allow these people to gracefully drop from your life as a dead, autumn leaf gently drops to the ground having served the tree well throughout the summer.
Part with love and all will be well.
