The signs around us

The Advice of Mevlana

In generosity and helping others
be like a river

In compassion and grace
be like the sun

In concealing others' faults
be like night

In anger and fury
be like dead

In modesty and humility
be like earth

In tolerance
be like the sea

Either exist as you are...
or be as you look

  1. River, sun, night, dead, earth, sea, look back and realize the capacity of our world, of nature and what it offers, now look forward to where you will go with it... where it will take you...
