Bowls of Food keep coming to me from Rumi.
I want to share some of it:
Winter blocks the road. Flowers
are taken prisoner underground.
Then green justice tenders a spear.
Go outside to the orchard. These
visitors came a long way, past all
the houses of the zodiac, learning
something new at each stop. And
they're here for such a short time,
sitting at these tables set on the
prow of the wind. Bowls of food
are brought out as answers. but
still no one knows the answer.
Food for the soul stays secret.
Body food gets put out in the open
like us. Those who work at a bakery
don't know the taste of bread like
the hungry beggars do. Because the
beloved wants to know, unseen things
become manifest. Hiding is the
hidden purpose of creation: bury
your seed and wait. After you die,
all the thoughts you had will throng
around like children. The heart
is the secret inside the secret.
My friend Micah climbed up the hill today when I wasn't home and dropped off his extra guitar for me. I sang a song tonight that felt so good. I am so grateful for all the beauty in my life. I am so grateful for the chance to love life so much. What's here now, and what's coming.
A little bit closer to the begining of this long Rumi poem he says...
The purpose of
every gathering is discovered:
to recognize beauty and to love
what's beautiful.
I love you beautiful! Yes you!
Rumi has been so helpful lately. And the Tarot. I asked just now what lessons it had and here's what it said:
It seems appropriate that the Three of Wands has three main interpretations, all of which seem to stand alone but which ultimately relate to each other. The first of these is established strength; success after initial hardship and difficulty. Partnership and teamwork is the second theme, particularly leadership in creative environments. This card also deals with personal virtue and respect for oneself. It shows that, when the chips are down and you have no one to help you, you can turn to yourself for support and you will never be let down.
Thankfully I have many beautiful souls I can turn to when the chips are down. And I'm ready for success after the initial hardship! Particularily in creative environments! And in partnership and teamwork!
Wow. Thank you god (which you can also read as, soul of that little baby I will find one day) for all the beauty stirred in me.
I love you.
And you.
Beautiful.
