Put all your pain on a piece of paper, write it all down, every experience, every ache, every hurtful moment. Then take a match, and set fire to that piece of paper. All the hurt you have inside you is burning just as it burnt inside of you, until it is completely gone. From this moment forward you are free. Nothing can harm you. No past. No present. No future. You are reborn into water, and nothing in the entirety of this world can set fire to water, nor crush it. Whatever pressures you face, you will float. Whatever tries to sink you, you will rise up. Today, right now, in this moment, you are a warrior. Now smile, it will set fire to those who sought to burn you.. .Seja Majeed
About This Quote
In this quote, Rumi presents a metaphor for the creative process. When you feel your pain, you should write it down. This action will help you to realize that your pain is not who you are or what you stand for. When you set the paper on fire, it will burn away all of your past and present hurts and anxieties. Once they are gone, you will be free.
