woven leaf - mjd 2013
slow down,
stop what you are doing
and take a breath.
'sit down and be quiet.
you are drunk
and this is the edge of the roof.'
- rumi
the situation is dire
for those unwilling
to do the work
of practicing awareness.
distraction lurks
in every corner
and sits in the middle
of every room.
but is there really any other option?
Great fiber leaf... and what a funny Rumi quote!

Quiet time is so important. I can't help smiling at Rumi's words..... "and this is the edge of the roof".
ReplyDeleteDistraction...the nemesis. A great Rumi quote. I have never seen it before, but its definitely relevant.
ReplyDeleteMary Jane- even without a photo of your lovely creation-- your words alone are always cause enough to love your blog:)
ReplyDeleteI pray all is well in your world--- xoxo

MJ - great connection between the words and the symbolism of the fragile leaf. B
ReplyDelete'Is there really any other option?' This may well be the question that has been tormenting me for the past month and a half. I hope there is, even if it means jumping off the roof.
ReplyDeleteThat leaf is so perfect!
O my gosh..that is beautiful...I have Rumi'ed up my website...was thinking about you as I picked the quotes...love where you are going with your fiber work!
