soul river inside


"Whenever you do things from your soul,
you feel a river inside, a joy."____Rumi


We love this quote by the Sufi mystic Rumi because it is so simple, yet so very direct. It speaks to when we are feeling an aliveness in the moment and when we can look upon this world with a fresh and free vision from spirit.

A fresh & free vision made possible with the eyes of spirit from that deep place we all have within, that precious & sacred place there just waiting on the inside.

Because, in our way of looking at it, it is the soul that animates and illuminates our bodies and our minds, and it actually comes first. The soul is that pool of origination from Source that is always there, always flowing, always humming along in the background, gently feeding us with its knowledge and wisdom, whether we happen to be consciously aware of it or not.

Like a river it flows and keeps moving, like a river it can heal and refresh.

Like a river the soul touches us with its living waters, to inspire, & like a river it is harmony and it is peace.

Like a river it is forever offering us the gifts of its deep knowledge to inspire along with its gentle rhythms, magic, & movement within the heart of life and spirit itself.
