Whenever I read Rumi’s poetry, my heart bursts open. His words speak to me and call me to move more deeply into love. A Hundred Blessings is one of my Rumi favourites. I invite you to listen to his words as they are sung most beautifully in this video. Listen…close your eyes…breathe gently…let all your barriers go and fall into love.
Hundred Blessings – Rumi
When Love comes suddenly and taps on your window,
run and let it in, but first shut the door of your reason,
even the smallest hint chases love away,
like smoke that drowns the freshness of the morning breeze.
To reason, Love can only say the way is barred,
you can’t pass through,
but to the lover it offers a hundred blessings.
Before the mind decides to take a step, Love has reached the seventh heaven.
Love has climbed the Holy Mountain.
I must stop this talk now and let Love speak from its nest of silence
