212: The Light that Never Leaves: Hope, Promise, and Love in the Mystical Heart

As we stand at the threshold of a new year, the heart begins to whisper its timeless truth, that even through endings, uncertainty, and loss, there is a light within us that never leaves. In this soul-nourishing episode, Deanna invites you into the mystical heart, a space where hope is not fragile or naive, but radiant and enduring.

Drawing from the ecstatic wisdom of Rumi, Hafiz, and the Sufi path of divine remembrance, this episode explores hope as a sacred act of remembering rather than wishing, a return to the light that has always lived within you. Through poetry, reflection, and spiritual insight, you’ll be guided to rediscover how love itself becomes both promise and path: the promise that no darkness can extinguish, and the path that leads us home to the Beloved within.

Together, we’ll explore:
🌙 What Rumi and Hafiz teach about hope as divine intimacy rather than denial of pain.
💫 How the mystics understood light as the very essence of being, the soul’s own radiance.
❤️ Why love, compassion, and remembrance are revolutionary acts in times of despair.
🔥 And how to enter the new year not through striving, but through surrender, to the divine current that has never stopped holding you.

With poetic readings, reflection prompts, and moments of contemplative pause, The Light That Never Leaves is an invitation to soften into grace, to breathe again, and to remember:
You are not seeking the light.
You are the light remembering itself.
