Beloved of Rumi

The Alchemy True Human Beings Know

Welcome difficulty.
Learn the alchemy True Human Beings know:
the moment you accept what troubles
you’ve been given, the door opens.

Welcome difficulty as a familiar comrade.
Joke with torment brought by the Friend.

Sorrows are the rags of old clothes
and jackets that serve to cover,
and then are taken off. That undressing,
and the beautiful naked body underneath,
is the sweetness that comes after grief.

~Mevlana Rumi

About Stuart

Previously I was a Business Operations professional working for various companies for the past 30 yeas or so. I have always had a keen interest in history, philosophy, spirituality and religion. This is my first blog/website attempt, and contains information I have gleaned from the many presentations, articles, business literature and presentations, books, magazines and personal conversations I have been exposed to on those many many subjects. With a renewed commitment to writing as a serious career, my goal is in getting my work published and recognized by a wider audience.
