Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 Hi guys, shall not be around for a couple of weeks. You all take care! love eric. Meanwhile a little Rumi - How should Spring bring forth a garden on hard stone? Become earth, that you may grow flowers of many colours. For you have been a heartbreaking rock. Once for the sake of experiment, be earth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to be totally free, and estranged. Time to give up our souls, to set fire to structures and run out in the street. Time to ferment. How else can we leave the world-vat and go to the lip? We must die to become true human beings. We must turn completely upside-down like a comb in the top of a beautiful woman's hair. Spread out your wings as a tree lifts in the orchard. As seed scattered on the road, as a stone melts to wax, as a candle becomes the moth. On a chessboard the king is blessed again with his queen. With our faces so close to the love-mirror, we must not breathe, but change to a cleared place where a building was and feel the treasure hiding inside us. With no building or end we live in lovers as a story they know. If you will be the key, we'll be tumblers in the lock. LoveAlways, Mazie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
