Daily Inspirational Quote August 22 2014
“This is now. Now is. Don’t postpone till then.
Spend the spark of iron on stone. Sit at the head of the table;
dip your spoon in the bowl. Seat yourself next to your joy
and have your awakened soul pour wine.”
- Rumi
We spend so much time in our heads these days — when are we really living? There is great beauty to be experienced if we just become fully present to it. Luxuriate in the richness of your sensory experience: let a kiss deepen into savored moments of ecstasy; let the taste of fruit upon your tongue awaken every cell in your being with pleasure; let the soft warmth of your bed draw you into deep, blissful relaxation. Sometimes we have to think and we have to work, but as much as possible, we should remember to make love to life, to drink deeply of all its pleasures, and to abide in the profound contentment of full engagement.
