Poetic Interlude 
&
The 19th Rule of Love 
Below





Together with all living things, you share the breath of life, participating in the same cycles of birth and death, reproduction and recycling and renewal. You, with them, are part of the story of creation—different branches on the tree of life.
—Brian McLaren



"Let everything happen to you:
beauty and terror.
Just keep going.
No feeling is final."

— Rainer Maria Rilke 


        

    


The 19th Rule of Love 

By Shams of Tabriz 

Fret not where the road will take you. Instead concentrate on the first step. That is the hardest part and that is what you are responsible for. Once you take that step let everything do what it naturally does and the rest will follow. Don’t go with the flow. Be the flow.
