Know Yourself

Do you know what you are?
You are a manuscript of a divine letter.
You are a mirror reflecting a noble face.
This Universe is not outside of you.
Look inside yourself:
everything that you want,
you are already that.    - Rumi

Many traditions describe the spiritual journey as moving toward your true self.

Find a quiet location.  Then, read the above poem slowly.

Sit comfortably, clear your mind and focus on your breath. Take in six deep breaths and left out six.  Do this four times.  Notice if any phrase of the above poem jumps out at you.

Who are you?  Discover a metaphor to define you.  Write!
