"The Path to the Truth is a labor of the heart, not of the head.  Make your heart your primary guide!  Not your mind.  Meet, challenge, and ultimately prevail over your nafs with your heart.  Knowing your self will lead you to the knowledge of God."
~The Forty Rules of Love

Happy Friday beautiful hearts!  It's the perfect weather to curl up with a good book!  The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak is one of my tired and true reads.  A thoughtful Yoga friend introduced this to me many moons ago.  This novel repeatedly empties my heart of nonsense and refuels it with so many divine possibilities.  

Elif's book is described as a 'lyrical and imaginative novel that unfolds in two parallel narratives.'  This astonishing novel parallels the life of the thirteenth century poet, Rumi and a modern day all American housewife, Ella.  The theme of this book is woven around one of the most universal and epic themes in history; LOVE!  Elif is able to bring to life Rumi's musings while animating the complexities of modern day living and loving.  The questions always remain the same,  'Do you have the courage to undertake your transformation? Are you willing to bet everything on love? Are you willing to unlearn everything you know?' 

One of the forty rules: "The quest for Love changes us.  There is no seeker among those who search for Love who has not matured no the way.  The moment you starts looking for Love, you start to change within and without."

In this beautiful month that celebrates LOVE, may you dive into LOVE- allowing it to deliciously change and ravage you!  May you seek to know all possibilities with the eyes of LOVE.  May LOVE light the lantern of your heart!

May You Sweetly Seek:)
In Gratitude, 
Sarah
