<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 4374045, member: 2844&quot;]It is an oldie, originally used by the old Sufi Masters like Rumi. Sufis are a mystic order.</p><p>The saying made its way to the Western world at a time when there was an increased interest in Sufi wisdom. I&#039;ve been thinking about it a lot lately, and thought we could all use it in these dark times.</p><p><br /></p><p>Persian Sufi master Attar of Nishapur relates a story that goes something like this:</p><p>A depressed king asked his Sufi advisors to devise a ring of such beauty that it would give him great joy in his hours of sadness. When they returned, they offered him a plain ring. On the ring was the inscription &quot;This too shall pass&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>About 40 years ago, before I even knew this story, I had a plain gold ring inscribed with &quot;All shall be well&quot;, part of a well-known quote from Julian of Norwich, another mystic. She wrote it ca 1400, when the plague ravaged England.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
