Thank you dear for remembering so fondly what I scribbled.

It is indeed the power of words that moves the world for good always and some times astray. Thanks to great writers, sages and sufis. May the tribe of good writers increase.Amen !

You are so right, words can change us in so many ways and can have such great meaning. I love how you put it about the “trail of wisdom” left behind from those before us. ✨

Yes, as we would say here in Australia, “fit as a Mallee bull”. 😂 don’t ask me where the saying came from, I haven’t got a clue. Actually I just looked it up and it originates from the Australian concept of the Mallee, a harsh, dry and scrubby area where only tough animals can survive, the earliest this phrase came about was 1879, a very long time before I was born

I have read about Rumi all my life. His words, in his unique expressions and style, are full of wisdom and are as valuable as gems.
