Traveling is as refreshing for some as staying home
is for others. Solitude
in a mountain place fills with companionship for this
one, dead-weariness
for that one. This person loves being in charge of the
working of a community. This
one loves the ways that heated iron can be shaped with
a hammer. Each has been
given a strong desire for certain work, love for those
motions, and all motion
is love. The way sticks and pieces of dead grass and
leaves shift about in
the wind and with the directions of rain and puddle water
on the ground, those
motions are following the love they’ve been given.
– Rumi
