"Rumi a 13th-century Persian poet, scholar, and mystic who wrote sublime and universal poetry. He used the word "DRUM" in so many of his poems and other writings to represent various concepts and beliefs.

His poems suggest that he believed drums represent the voice of God or the divine that calls & invites seekers. He uses drums as symbols of the inner peace and tranquility of the heart, & he rhythm of life and the heartbeat of the soul.
Drums signify the expression and creativity of the human spirit. He says: “The drum is the sign of life, It is the voice of the living soul and the key to the treasure, If you have the courage to beat it."

"Rumi encouraged his readers to use the drum as a tool to unlock the secrets of the universe & the self plus a means of transcending the limitations of the rational mind."

Many of his poems and writings are long, but most of his famous quotes are succinct like the one in the meme that accompanies this post.

From the minute we take our first breath until the moment we take our last breath, from the first heartbeat we hear in the womb, our mother's, to the last one we hear...our own, the specific rhythm of our life accompanies us. Patterns we follow in life create the way it will flow. So it's important to, whenever possible, follow our own unique rhythm to stay in tune with OURSELVES.

If you find yourself in any kind of a mental, spiritual or physical "funk", check in with your inner being and see if you can determine the cause. Maybe it's saying "slow down...you're doing too much" or "get outside & get some fresh air, commune with nature", or maybe "grab your drum and find a beautiful spot in a park, or a forest, or near some water, and play until the vibration you need to hear and feel clicks in and causes you to recognize yourself...your true self....the self you will always be if you find, nurture, & move thru life following YOUR rhythm - YOUR own SPECIAL SIGNATURE.
