Using Your Grace

I’m on a Rumi kick lately, and I’ve been forwarding this poem to my friends and clients who are doubting that they have anything special to offer.

Way of Knowledge

What God in His mercy has taught the bees He has not graced the lion or wild ass;
The bee knows how to make a house of liquid sugar.
It is God who opened to him this Way of Knowledge.
What God in His mercy has taught the silkworm
The elephant himself cannot understand or repeat
.

– Jalal-ud-Din Rumi

What have you been graced with?  What do you know that no one else knows?
