Run from what's comfortable
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live.
Destroy your reputation.
Be notorious.
-Rumi
I'm not sure why, but today, I just really loved this poem. Rumi is a favorite of mine, that I often run into on Pinterest, but oddly enough I've never looked him up before today. Which led me to another amazing thing. After his death, Rumi's son and followers founded this religious order, the Mevlevi Order (Order of the Whirling Dervishes) that are famous for this dance, the Sufi dance, also known as the Sama Ceremony or the Dervish Dance.
Something about it is just so beautiful and calming to me. And just what I needed this week.
