“Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead let life live through you. And do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come”
~Elif Shafak

Good morning beautiful hearts! This quote comes from one of my favorite books by Elif Shafak. Her prose is woven around the relationship between Rumi and his spiritual master Shams of Tabriz. If you haven't checked this book out, I'd highly suggest it. It is a delightful tale, and even more so an urging to all hearts everywhere- fill your life and heart with more love.
The quotes from this book could overflow the layers of my heart, but I felt that this one really spoke to the climate of the outer and inner landscapes of many peoples lives at this time. The richness of four lines offers deep space for reflection. As I look into the stunning landscape of fall, I am again reminded that perhaps this season of holding on and letting go is preparing all of us for a new season of life. "How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?"
May You Sweetly Seek:)
In Gratitude,
Sarah
