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!

Breathing Truth - Quotations from Jalaluddin Rumi

 

 

......A Story They Know - Mevlana

 

 

It's time for us to join the line of your

madmen all chained together. 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
