Dusk by the lake


The beauty of the sky and the lake,
the changing colours and moods of nature
stir in me so much awe and love.


Sharing a few poems and words of wisdom by Rumi that reflect how I feel.
He is a poet that a dear nephew introduced me to 
when he gave me a book of poetry titled
La religion de l'amour

When I read Rumi, I think of my nephew, his kindness,
his calm individuality and his philosophy of love.
I am thankful for his priceless gift.

***

I am so small I can barely be seen.
How can this great love be inside me?
Look at your eyes. They are small,
But they see enormous things.

***

When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.

***

In your light I learn how to love. 
In your beauty, how to make poems. 
You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, 
but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.
