We are sailors, captains all, and we drift pointing our vessels towards the sun


We are sailors, captains all, and we drift pointing our vessels towards the sun, negotiating the moods that are waves, and the depths of the waters that appear dark and uncertain.  It is the rising sun we follow, it is this rising sun that you feel in your breast, you feel it in your gut; it is radiating throughout your life.
 
It is a texture.  We are the finger, the hand, the needle, the wool, the plan, the choice, the effort and energy.  We are weavers, and when there comes a break, a tear in life, we must return and set it right.  It gets done only if we do it.
 
Your patience has given the lord of time the opportunity to bring the fragments of your dreams together that they might be woven into the tapestry that is reality.  Do not tear such committed works through worry and fear.  You have worked much too hard to suffer the tantrums of an ego that knows much better its place in your existence.
Rumi
