RUMI THURSDAY
THROUGH LOVE all that is bitter will sweet
Through Love all that is copper will be gold.
Through Love all dregs will turn to purest wine
Through Love all pain will turn to medicine.
Through Love the dead will all become alive.
Through Love the king will turn into a slave!



rocking and rolling
what have you been drinking
please let me know

you must be drunk
going house to house
wandering from street to street

who have you been with
who have you kissed
who's face have you been fondling

you are my soul
you are my life
i swear my life and love is yours

so tell me the truth
where is that fountainhead
the one you've been drinking from

don't hide this secret
lead me to the source
fill my jug over and over again

last night i finally caught
your attention in the crowd
it was your image filling my dream

telling me to stop this wandering
stop this search for
good and evil

i said my dear prophet
give me some of
that you've drunk for ecstasy of life

if i let you drink you said
any of this burning flame
it will scorch your mouth and throat

your portion has been
given already by heaven
ask for more at your peril

i lamented and begged
i desire much more
please show me the source

i have no fear
to burn my mouth and throat
i'm ready to drink every flame and more

I'm sleepy...very much so. A crazy busy whirlwind of a week. Nonstop. I'm not complaining in the least. It has been beyond my wildest dreams. Even I could not have imagined the past week. The weekend itself, one I could not have created though it seems an amazing dream. A weekend at a beautiful casino, tasting wines and eating wonderful gourmet food (except for the quail)...the most interesting moment happened around noon on Saturday when time stopped and everyone in the conference hall melted away. I stood lost in a conversation that led in a direction I never expected. The rest of the day...fifteen hours passed in a blur but yet every moment is etched in memory. How it happened? I have no answer. It was completely unexpected. Welcomed but not something I even realized was happening. I was swept away. I've never had that happen before. No concerns, no worries. It all just flowed. It continues to flow.

	Now that is awesome. In one of the Star Trek movie, I think they called that experience a perfect moment in time. Does not happen nearly enough. Enjoy it and treasure it. Glad to see you had a great trip! (Reply to this) (Thread)
