Daily Reflections - Roots

"The heart is a mirror. Truth appears in it only when it is polished and turned toward the light." A new voice arrives, the second Persian among our thinkers, who lost his voice at the height of his fame and walked away for ten years to find it: Al-Ghazali. Ten lessons on the day his body said no, on the four questions a lost traveler asks, on tasting wisdom rather than defining it, and on coming back to the same desk as a different man. Nothing needs to be added to the mirror. A little polishing each day, and the light does the rest.
