Barbara Nasarian-Eckstein from the Friends of the Rose Gardens Dortmund, offered us some profound words of wisdom...

Barbara Nasarian-Eckstein von den Freunden des Deutschen Rosariums Dortmund rezitierte inspirierende Zeilen...

With the words of Jalaluddin Rumi:
"be aware, be silent, pull the thorn of existence out of the foot of the heart, so that you can realise the rosebow in yourself"...
Mit den Worten von Dschalaluddin Rumi:
"Gib acht, sei still, zieh den Dorn des Seins aus dem Fuß des Herzens, damit du die Rosenlauben in dir erkennst...."
