“You have no idea how hard I have looked for a gift to bring you. Nothing seemed right. What’s the point of bringing gold to a gold mine, or water to the ocean. Everything I came up with was like taking spices to the Orient. It’s no good giving my heart and my soul because you already have these. So I’ve brought you a mirror. Look at yourself and remember me.”
Rumi
Beyond the Quote (Day 400)
Read these words and remember your mirror. You are not without the gold that you so desperately seek; it is already within you. You are not without a source to quench the thirst of your desire; for you are the source itself. The gifts that you so longingly crave do not come from others; they come from inside you.
Have you lost the ability to see yourself in the mirror? Has the fog of your mind become too thick? Or have your eyes become conditioned only to see how timelines see? Can you not see that you are the gold mine? That you are the ocean? That you are every spice life has to offer?
You are not missing anything. There is no gift that can complete you. You do not need half of a person’s heart nor do you need any part of their soul; you already have these and they are full. You simply need to remember who you are—all that you are. So, clear your eyes and keep your true reflection close by. Be it through a mirror, a reminder, a lover, a friend. And look often into the depths of you.
