Steampunk Paper Doll Journal - Spread 26 (Bonus) - Soul

"Each form you see has its unseen archetype,
If the form should pass, its essence is eternal.
If you have known beauty in a face or wisdom in a word,
Let this counsel your heart:
What perishes is not real.
Since the springhead is timeless, its branches refresh.
Since neither can cease what is the cause of your sorrow?
Think of your soul as the source and created things as springs.
While the source exists, the springs continuously flow.
- Jallaluddin Rumi (1707-1273)(Turkish-born Persian Sunni Muslim poet, jurist, Islamic scholar, theologian, and Sufi mystic)
