Being the change you want to see in the world asks more of us. It means stepping out of our comfort...for some, stepping out of indifference...for others, stepping out of silence. It means not just hovering to take in...but also doing what you can to bring your own personal Light to a troubled world.
This morning I came across a poem of Rumi's that I had humbly adapted from another translation long ago. It is a call to action for us all.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Come out from under your fear, you so
so fond of hiding and running away.
Don't cover your face.
The world is reeling,
Its heart so sick,
And you are one who can serve
as an influence for good.
Don't hide the candle of your clarity.
Be with people.
Lead the way.
Be a teacher of souls by example.
---Rumi
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Put your mark on this time in history. The world needs you! Do your part.
