"I said: what about my eyes?
God said: Keep them on the road.
I said: what about my passion?
God said: Keep it burning.
I said: what about my heart?
God said: Tell me what you hold inside it? . . .

I said: pain and sorrow?
He said: Stay with it. The wound is the place where the Light enters you."--Rumi
With prayers and friendship for our Muslim Brothers and Sisters in New Zealand and around the world.

Thank you for helping to find words this morning at hearing of this tragedy in New Zealand, the words of Rumi, and the words spoken by this Lentz icon.
