This poem by Rumi calls us to move from the inner world rather than from fear. It speaks of walking a path that has no destination except awareness itself. It reminds us that the true journey is within. Move from the soul, not from fear. Mawlana Jalaluddin Mohammad Balkhi, popularly known as "Rumi", is a 13th-century Sufi poet. Today, he is recognised as one of the greatest poets who ever lived, due in part to how his words seem to speak to the Divine. Photo by Rainy November. Translation by Coleman Barks.

Keep walking,

Though there's no place to get to.

Don't try to see through the distances.

That is not for human beings.

Move within,

But don't move the way fear makes you move.
