Ever felt love transform you in ways words can barely touch? Rumi did. And he left us this soul-stirring road map from sorrow to starlight.
“I was dead, then alive.
Weeping, then laughing.
The power of love came into me,
and I became fierce like a lion,
then tender like the evening star.”
― Rumi
Reflection:
Rumi’s words take us on a breathtaking inner journey—from death to life, from sorrow to joy, from weakness to wild strength, and finally to peace. His lines aren’t just poetry; they’re a spiritual biography of every soul that has ever been touched by love. Real love—whether divine, romantic, or soulful—doesn’t just make us feel better; it remakes us. One moment we’re curled in grief, the next we’re laughing through tears, made fierce by the fire of connection. Then, almost without warning, that same force softens us—into starlight, into stillness. Rumi reminds us that love’s power lies in its paradoxes: fierce yet tender, overwhelming yet calming. If you’re in a season of weeping, trust that laughter waits. If you’re fierce now, know the evening star is in you too. Love transforms. That’s its gift. That’s its miracle.
