Everything you see has its roots
In the unseen world.
In the unseen world.
The forms may change
Yet the essence remains the same.
Yet the essence remains the same.
Every wondrous sight will vanish,
Every sweet word will fade,
But do not be disheartened.
Every sweet word will fade,
But do not be disheartened.
The Source they come from is Eternal,
Growing, branching out,
Giving new life and new joy.
Growing, branching out,
Giving new life and new joy.
Why do you weep?
That Source is within you
And this whole world
Is springing up from it.
That Source is within you
And this whole world
Is springing up from it.
The Source is full,
Its waters are every-flowing;
Do no grieve,
Drink your fill!
Do no grieve,
Drink your fill!
Don't think it will ever run dry,
This is the endless Ocean.
This is the endless Ocean.

We might feel like lone drifters most of the time but are rooted to the same unfathomable source. I like the Rumi reminder as well as the Canadian skies that put on a wonderful show for your brother. :)
