I love to start the week with something to meditate on – something that stirs up that little fire inside you and inspires a magnetic week, when you sense all the things you are wanting are coming that tiny bit closer to you…
So here on The Tiny Soprano, you will find Monday is now a day for motivation, for micromovements, meditation, for manifesting, for magic.
Today I’ve chosen a poem by Rumi. It symbolises the very essence of what this site and The Tiny Way is all about – from little things, big things grow.
Enjoy.
The Seed Market
Can you find another market like this?
Where,
with your one rose
you can buy hundreds of rose gardens?
Where,
for one seed
you get a whole wilderness?
For one weak breath,
a divine wind?
You’ve been fearful
of being absorbed in the ground,
or drawn up by the air.
Now, your waterbead lets go
and drops into the ocean,
where it came from.
It no longer has the form it had,
but it’s still water
The essence is the same.
This giving up is not a repenting.
It’s a deep honoring of yourself.
When the ocean comes to you as a lover,
marry at once, quickly,
for God’s sake!
Don’t postpone it!
Existence has no better gift.
No amount of searching
will find this.
A perfect falcon, for no reason
has landed on your shoulder,
and become yours.
From Essential Rumi
