The alternative to suffering--- Rumi's take



Rumi:
plus moaa


The wonder of the water
rushing over the rock in the
stream
justifies existence.

the swish of a horse's tail
and
again I am stunned by the grandeur of the
Unseen One
that governs all Existence.

I resist looking at my palms sometimes
Have you ever gotten breathless before
a beautiful face----
I see you there sometimes
my dear

there is a wonderful problem waiting
for you
that God and I share:

how to keep from fainting when we see
each
other

In deed eo:

How does God keep from fainting all
day
when She sees Herself again
and again
and
again

Light is moving like a stream,
and a myriad of celestial beings
applaud.



Rumi,
via Daniel Ladinsky
via
me
via
you

look at it
smile
close your eyes
sensing your beingness
and
then write
your version:

light streams
just now
from your beauty to mine

it dazzles
and what is
IT?

you are it
I am IT
it is IT

all the explanations crumbe
when we see that the mirror
is bursting with love
and laughter

The Joy of Divorce:

TheJoyOfDivorce.info

'cause even divorced
we can
faint with love
and joy at the thought of
each
other

what a sweet little piece of the stream's
dance to the ocean
that was

and if we forget the sweetness,
time to remember, time to remember,
yes
what else is time for,
but to
re
member
our Selves
as
pieces of God
staring at other
pieces of God

ha,
ha

don't believe any of the above

and
if
you
wish

experience as much of it,
as you can
stand

with or without
fainting

ciao for Now,
chris
