How good it is to center down!To sit quietly and see one’s self pass by!The streets of our minds seethe with endless traffic;Our spirits resound with clashing, with noisy silences,While something deep within hungers and thirsts for the still moment and the resting lull. …As we listen, floating up through all of the jangling echoes […]
From the Center – July 2, 2021
Walk to the well.Turn as the earth and the moon turn,circling what they love.Whatever circles comes from the center. -Jelaluddin Rumi, trans. by Coleman Barks, The Essential Rumi, p. 279
Dance – July 1, 2021
Dance, when you’re broken open.Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off.Dance in the middle of the fighting.Dance in your blood.Dance when you’re perfectly free. -Jelaluddin Rumi, trans. by Coleman Barks, The Essential Rumi, p. 281
Something – June 30, 2021
Something opens our wings. Somethingmakes boredom and hurt disappear.Someone fills the cup in front of us.We taste only sacredness. -Jelaluddin Rumi, trans. by Coleman Barks, The Essential Rumi, p. 280
