Freedom of Rumi

Prayers in the wind

happy is the one
who doesn’t want to try
getting wealthy
or remaining poor
free of other people
and worldly worries
a stranger to himself
free in every way

..what does it mean: a stranger to myself ?

From: Rumi “Dancing the Flame”

About Michaela

I am a wanderer and a wonderer, like you are. I love our journey and to walk in the company of friends – to learn, experience, share, laugh, cry and above all I simply love this marvelous, magical, mysterious life. I have no plan (cannot believe I am saying this) and my only intention is to be truthful to myself and others.
