There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.
-- Rumi
Today's guidance from The Rumi Card Book:
Category: Ordeal ... You want everything to be yours? Become nothing to yourself and all things. The only hope to find a solution to the problem is through total detachment.
Category explanation from the book: One of the glories of Rumi's work is its naked honesty about the necessity of ordeal--about what could be called "the alchemy of Agony." The family of ordeal cards, then, deals with both sides of the nature of suffering in our lives: that it is unavoidable and that, through understanding its inner purpose, it can be transmuted into the gold of Grace.Part 3 from the Bill Moyers Series "The Language of Life" and includes small poems and the interview between Moyers and Barks.
"Alchemy of Agony" is such a striking phrase.
