Let Change Take Birth

Great poems speak to our hearts - and then the ideas flow from our own pens, together with our own thoughts and experiences. Here is a poem, which was inspired by Rumi about joyfully accepting changes that life brings to us.

By Sacinandana Swami

It grows deep within
Silently, persistently
Like a new life in the womb.

But when it surfaces
You’ll know
A ‘new me’ is being born.

Never resist this new arrival
Let life flow through you
Unimpeded.

Even if it turns you upside down
Trust that the side that is to come
Is better than the side you are used to.

So, move on
Trust the magic of new beginnings
Let change take birth.
