Finding Sparks in Life’s Changing Seasons
I’ve just returned from a soul-soothing vacation, and this evening finds me back at my desk, a warm cup of coffee in hand. Beyond the wide glass of my office window, the Doha skyline shimmers, steel catching the last light of day. As I sip and let the city breathe around me, a favorite line from Rumi drifts to my mind,
"Try to accept the changing seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the changing seasons that pass over your fields." – Rumi.
Every time I return to these words, I feel their quiet power. Rumi reminds us that change is not just inevitable, it’s essential. Every season of the heart, like the turning of the earth, carries its own lessons and hidden beauty. Life calls us to release what no longer serves us, to stretch toward what’s new, and to trust the journey. And often, the very places we resist reveal the deepest wells of strength.
