Advise for those living at the edges outside the mainstream


Rumi says to those who live at the fertile and also highly uncertain edges of life;

We must become ignorant
Of all we've been taught,
And, be instead, bewildered.

Run from what's profitable and comfortable
If you drink those liqueurs, you'll spill
The spring water of your real life.

Forget safety.
Live where you fear to live.
Destroy your reputation.
Be notorious.

I have tried prudent planning
Long enough, from now
On, I'll live mad.

Rest assured if your actions or ideas are being derided by the status quo you maybe onto something worth following. Trust your intuition and feelings. Now is a time to bring forth from mysterious places. In itself this requires not knowing what is to come or where it is to come from. As paradoxical as this may seem it is nevertheless necessary to set out and seek a new.
