Ruminations

Ruminations
I dance, I spin,
All the time within,
Rumination falls like rain,
As I dance and spin.

Whirling dervish energy connected me to this moment.

The chant-like repetition creates a meditative rhythm, mirroring an internal state where movement becomes contemplation.

While rumination often implies anxious repetition, here it becomes nourishment — repetition that frees the mind.

Rumi’s spirit speaks through surrender, motion, and ecstatic inwardness. The music and words together capture that internal grace.
