“Be like a tree…”…Rumi quote
Live your seasons…
“Be like a tree and let the dead leaves drop.”
Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī (Rumi) (1207-1273)
13th century Persian poet, jurist, Islamic scholar, theologian, and Sufi mystic
You took what was valuable from your leaves…
let the old leaves nourish the earth,
and grow new leaves.
