FInding Clarity

Clarity comes when we break through the thickest, heaviest sludge that bogs down the mind. That breaking point comes when frustration, anger, confusion, or fatigue peaks and has been expelled to the point of emptiness. The body might shake uncontrollably, the mind might grow tired and finally sleep because it has worn itself out, and words lose their meaning. And again the sun rises, unbothered by it all, and there is a moment of clarity, so simple that you wonder what all the fuss was about.

Clarity is only possible when there is muddied water to wade through.

Words of Wisdom from Rumi

There's a way of passing away from the personal
A dying that makes one full
We're given the gift of continuously dying and being resurrected
Lovers are alive to the extent they can die
Fill your jug in the river!
Some nights stay up till dawn
The moon sometimes does for the sun
Be a full bucket, pulled up
The dark way of a well, then lifted out to the light
All I know of Spirit is this love.
- Rumi
