This poem by Rumi spoke to me during this time of disruption in our normal routines due to the pandemic.  When all my old props and cues had been removed, I had an uneasy sense of being unmoored.  I am now beginning to see this unexpected pause as an invitation to reassess how I want to spend my finite time and energy.


What in your life is calling you,
when all the noise is silenced,
the meetings adjourned,
the lists laid aside,
and the wild iris blooms by itself
in the dark forest,
what still pulls on your soul?
-Rumi
