Feeding the Fire


"When your heart becomes the grave of your secrets, that desire of yours will be gained more quickly. The prophet said that anyone who keeps secret his inmost thought will soon attain the object of his desire. When seeds are buried in the earth, their inward secrets become the flourishing garden.” - Mevlana Rumi, 13th century sufi poet and mystic.



I have a hard time shutting my mouth sometimes…I often let everyone know everything about what’s going on with me. Keeping my plans and deepest desires hidden in my heart feels like an extra burden to carry, but I understand the quote above. That burden feeds the fire to express myself in the ways I dream of.
