"Recall the bounties".....by Rumi

I beg you, ask each part of yourself
to recall the bounties of the World-Provider
which are hidden in the pages of Time.
These dumb parts have a hundred tongues.

By day and by night you are eager to hear stories,
while each part of you sings of His bounties.

Like the ice which is born of winter,
when the winter disappears,
it remains as a reminder of winter's hardships.

In December a few fruits are our reminders of summer's grace.
Similarly, my child, every single part within you
suggests the story of a bounty He bestowed.

~ Rumi
