“Respond to every call that excites your spirit.” Rumi

November 29, 2021 Theodora Loukas

These pains you feel are messengers. Listen to them. There is a basket of fresh bread on your head, yet you go door to door asking for crusts. You have forgotten the One who doesn't care about ownership, who doesn't try to turn a profit from every human exchange. Soul, if you want to learn secrets,  your heart must forget about shame  and dignity. You are God's lover,  yet you worry what people are saying. When you go through a hard period, When everything seems to oppose you, ... When you feel you cannot even bear one more minute, NEVER GIVE UP! Because it is the time and place that the course will divert! God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites so that you will have two wings to fly, not one. What matters is how quickly you do what your soul directs.
