Contemplation
Contemplation Some Jalaladin Rumi for the day: “This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor...Welcome and entertain them all. Treat each guest honorably. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.” “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” “The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” “Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.” “A thousand half-loves must be forsaken to take one whole heart home.” “Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames” ***** The past few days I've been contemplating Love and Expanded Awareness. Or, rather, expanding Love past selfish desires ("love me back!") and just Loving... even when the loved one is broken, or lost, or unable to return love, or unable to appreciate it... how to open oneself and love without hope and expectation, and without taking everything personally. Or, perhaps, Love without Pain is impossible. No, I'm not turning all "Hippie, free love for everyone". Though I do give hugs to most anybody I meet I had an idea for a poem earlier, "We all are Phoenix" about love, and fire, and love turned to ashes. Some prefer the flames of love stay dead forever, others rise phoenix-like to live again and joyously and hopefully throw themselves into the heart of the fire. Of course... now I have the Garth Brooks song in my head: "Standing Outside the Fire" and it's rather messing my poem-writing up. Off on a slight tangent: Does anybody else have what I fondly refer to as "Disney Princess Moments"? When you're just happy... for absolutely no reason. None at all. In fact... maybe even the day wasn't all that great, but your heart sings of hope, and love, and ... whatever... and you just start singing? Animals gather around, birds join in... and all the world is suddenly a musical? OK: Maybe not that last part, but... the rest of it. Yes. I have moments like that. Every once in a while I even give in to the urge. No worries though: all of you are safe from hearing me. (Except now I'm imagining at least one of my friendly readers whom I know in real life will henceforth be trying to catch me singing or try dragging a song out of me.) The Rumi quotes above seemed to go with the thoughts running through my mind. Plus I love his poetry (as translated by Coleman Barks). Goodnight and hot, sexy dreams to everyone |

I've been pretty happy sometimes but it never occurred to me to call it a "Disney Princess" moment. I think I might get arrested out in public if I were making like a Disney Princess. I might be able to pull off a Goofy or a Pluto. When I was working I think I was more the Yosemite Sam type. It's Warner Brothers forever for me. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.
