Hamad Al-ibrahim

“Lo, I am with you always means when you look for God,
God is in the look of your eyes,
in the thought of looking, nearer to you than your self,
or things that have happened to you
There’s no need to go outside. Be melting snow.
Wash yourself of yourself. A white flower grows in the quietness.
Let your tongue become that flower.”
― Rumi, The Essential Rumi

“Pollution, corruption, economic problems—there would be enough reason to fear for developing countries even if the coming tech disruption weren’t expected.”

“Around the world, tougher economic times make governments less popular. In response, political leaders then spend too much money, including on subsidies.”
― Ian Bremmer, Us vs. Them: The Failure of Globalism

“Be a spot of ground where nothing is growing,
where something might be planted,
a seed, possibly, from the Absolute.”
― Rumi, The Essential Rumi
