Fire




I have been learning from the Element of Fire as of late, and how to work with the transformative energy in ceremony to its full creative potential. And today I include a teaching from the Persian poet, Rumi, which talks about the Loving nature of Fire, not in distortion, but in Truth:

Hear from the heart wordless mysteries!
Understand what cannot be understood!
In man's stone-dark heart there burns a fire
That burns all veils to their root and foundation.
When the veils are burned away, the heart will understand completely...
Ancient Love will unfold ever-fresh forms
In the heart of the Spirit, in the core of the heart.
~Rumi
