Rumi
There have been days where I spend a lot of time searching. Usually I am searching for a piece of wisdom that will either echo my feelings for the day (so I know I’m not alone in them) or something I can use to see the brighter side of the day (and remind myself that the feelings I’m having are only temporary). One of my favorite pieces of wisdom is:
“Let the water settle; you will see the moon and stars mirrored in your being.”-Rumi
Some days it takes a long time for the “storm” to die down and the waters to return to calm, but…in the long run, peace always prevails. If I just let the time pass and remain positive, the result is always a lesson learned and growth that has taken place.
Sometimes the moon and stars I see are the reality that my children represent. It always comes down to the fact that they are the center of my world and if I make the right choices for them, then 98% of the time, those are also the right choices for me.
I am at peace with raising strong, confident, secure children. It creates good karma.
