To a frog that's never left his pond, the ocean seems like a gamble. Look what he's giving up: security, mastery of his world, recognition! The ocean frog just shakes his head. I can't explain where I live, but someday I'll take you there.
Rumi

Rumi
Life is balance of holding on and letting go.

You are the soul of the soul of the universe, and your name is Love.
