My favorite poem inspires me and feels like deep knowledge. Every time I read it, I think about how my viewpoint has changed since I thought I knew everything.
I like to muse about how I will view this same poem in a year, or two, or ten.
Yesterday I was clever,
So I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise,
So I am changing myself.
-Rumi

I like this a lot! A friend of mine shares some of Rumi’s poems on Facebook sometimes and they always resonate with me. Great choice.

Yay! Rumi is one of my favorite poets. I could read his work all day. In fact, I spent a good part of the morning reading him.
Thank you.

Maybe that’s part of the allure. I appreciate a writer who can get their point across in a few words.

I’m not as familiar with Rumi as I should be, but that was a good choice and nicely layered in meaning.
My list is here; thanks for dropping by earlier!

It reminds me of a saying by Gandhi: Be the change that you want to see in the world.
Thanks for sharing this, I really must read more of Rumi.
