Thank you, David. I appreciate your comment. This post was, I must admit, a product of what has become a 'bad habit' of mine - I only write when I'm inspired or motivated by something external. There is some value in that, to be sure, but my personal goal is to inspire/motivate myself without waiting for external events. I've always been more (too much) of an observer than a doer. But observation without appropriate action or response is simple mental laziness.
I love reading your posts. This one arrived at just the right time. Thank you!!

I feel I always learn something when I read (or re-read) Rumi. Thanks for sharing this!
