Rumi, Shams, and Life of the Heart
Trees are metaphysical witnesses, prophets from all the traditions as well as suppliers of refuge and gifts for all of creation. Rumi and Shams address surrender, satisfaction, remembrance, real Friendship, and contentment.
To be in Paradise, stop complaining; greet whatever comes as if it’s our greatest happiness. Say, “It's just like that,” and keep going.
The Friend is generous and wise, removing obstacles even if we don’t know it, providing our daily portion from His granaries in the mysterious world of the beyond. We are not given too much all at once so we don't become rebellious and wayward.
