FAILURE IS THE KEY

DESIRE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF FAILING
RUMI

…You know how it is
Sometimes we plan a trip to one place,
But something takes us to another

When a horse is being broken,
The trainer pulls it in many different directions,
So the horse will come to know
What it is to be ridden

The most beautiful and alert horse
Is one
Completely attuned to the rider

The Universe fixes a passionate desire in you,
And then disappoints you
The Universe does this a hundred times!

The Universe breaks the wings of one intention
And gives you another
Cuts the rope of contriving,
So you’ll remember your dependence

But sometimes, your plans work out!
You feel fulfilled and in control

That’s because
If you were always failing you might give up
But remember,

It is by FAILURES that

Lovers stay aware of how they’re loved

FAILURE IS THE KEY
To the kingdom within…
