As you start to walk out on the way, the way appears
Pain is a treasure, for it contains mercies.
The kernel is soft when the rind is scraped off.
Oh brother, the place of darkness and cold is
the fountain of life in the cup of ecstasy.
So also is endurance of pain and sickness and disease.
For from abasement proceeds exultation.
The spring seasons are hidden in the autumns.
And the autumns are charged with springs.
― Rumi
🙂 Thanks!
You definitely captured the grimace in this.
I hope posting this and hearing the responses of all of us who find it so beautiful—both Rumi’s words and, especially, your self-portrait as an avatar of earthy bounty and introspection—has raised your spirits, too!
