Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.*
Rumi

The desire itself translated step by step, day by day, into action is enough to propel us enormous distances.**
David Whyte

There are plenty of things around to hinder our progress –
Failure can do it, success too,
Fear or feeling lost,
Things happening in other parts of our lives,
A loss of motivation or inspiration –
So we must reacquaint ourselves with what matters most to us,
To what Rumi named our strange pull,
But it will require nuance,
Lots of small steps we can pick up on
and replicate, for today and for tomorrow,
And we’ll keep moving even when we don’t feel like it –
Turning up, putting the time in, trusting our ritual –
Like sowing seeds,
Believing in the harvest.
