Dearest friend, Robertson Work, quoted Rumi as follows:
“Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion. We came whirling out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust . . . The stars made a circle, and in the middle, we dance."
Robertson writes on Substack. He is one of the most intelligent people I've ever known, or studied.
I'm pretty awestruck to find my name among those he mentioned as being part of his circles of those who affirmed and enabled his work. I admit to being a friend and neighbor, as well as agreeing with much of what he says. He is the influencer, not me!
I'm particularly struck in this essay by his use of "reframing" to bring negative feelings into more positive possibilities.
I hope you get a chance to go glance at this relatively short paper (substack.)
