Jonathan provided a beautiful image and a poem from Rumi.
What I enjoy most about Rumi’s poetry, is how over time the metaphors he used resonate, perhaps more than ever.
In today’s world, we need to feed our bodies in mindful ways, paying attention to what we watch, listen to, and the people we associate with. They feed the emotional, spiritual, and physical essence of our lives, which are inseparable.
In the modern, hectic days we live in sometimes we forget to nourish the soul and what inspirits us. For me, some of it is time with those close to me, my writing, and nature.
In August, Kathy and I stopped at Rearguard Falls, located in the upper reaches of the Fraser River. As a result, I enjoyed three phenomena that inspirit me: time with Kathy, nature, and writing, although the last one was delayed.

Our world touches us in so many different ways and we must be careful to spend as much time as possible with friendly people in peaceful places. Just came back from lunch today with two ladies who talked of nothing but the terrible world we live in. Not a peaceful time. Wonderful to be home to rest my soul.
In today’s world it is hard to avoid the negative and not talk about it. However, as you say, we need to lift our hearts up and find moments of rest with good people and good moments.
Beautiful.
Thank you Bela
