Can you tell the difference between the weeds and the flowers in my back yard? The weeds are blossoming along with hydrangia, tiger lilies, and salvia.
Rumi wrote:
"Don't sit with a sad person,
Only sit with those who are sweet and kind-hearted.
When you've entered a beautiful garden
Why spend your time with the weeds ?
I reply:
Sit with sadness.
Sit among shadows and weeds.
Sit with the abandoned kitten
so that you become sunlight,
you become the rose,
you become milk.
