My work situation is kind of bleak at the moment. There's lots of unrest, distrust and uncertainty swirling about. I read this poem by Rumi, and it is exactly what I needed to hear right now.
When Words Are Tinged With Lying
Muhammad gave this indication of how to know what's
real. "When you feel
a peaceful joy, you're near the truth. Unquiet and
off center, jealous or
greedy, what you do seems pretentious and those around
you insincere. Speak
the clearest truth you know, and let the disease heal."
If words are tinged with
lying, they're like water dripping into an oil lamp. The
wick won't light, and
the pleasure and rest of your love room will diminish.
~ Rumi
