You think you are alive
because you breathe air?
Shame on you,
that you are alive in such a limited way.
Don’t be without Love,
so you won’t feel dead.
Die in Love
and stay alive forever.
Rumi, translated Shahram Shiva
My head is burstingwith the joy of the unknown.
My heart is expanding a thousand fold.
Every cell,
taking wings,
flies about the world.
All seek separately
the many faces of my love.
Rumi, translated Shahram Shiva
Come whirl with me today.
Whirling is the action of the Universe,
creating itself, over and over, anew in the moment ~
fresh ecstacy and bliss.
Whirling is the Goddess in the Spiral,
dancing her energy upon the land
in Love with all she sees.
Come whirl with me today,
in a haze of sweaty joy
and shrieking like children,
we’ll create our own world
of Universal Bliss.
Me
