To take a step without feet...



A little something from my friend Rumi with which to say goodbye to a year filled with:

... joy... trees... pain... clouds... anger... flowers... hilarity... daughters... lakes... thunder...
challenge... sunshine... friendship... softness... wind... shouting... snow... remorse... silence...
leaves falling... songs... birth... self-pity... rocks... politics... rainfall... kisses... hard work...
laughter... hills... bravery... worry... the ocean... divorce... daffodils... sunrise... hugs... guilt...
dogs... goodness... nightfall... rainbows... god... bread making... mountains... music...
hope...


This is love: to fly toward a secret sky,
to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment.
First, to let go of life.
In the end, to take a step without feet...

Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi.
