Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 You have a source inside you, a cool spring that sometimes stops flowing, frozen or clogged with silt. A voice says, "Consider the situation more deeply, my friend." Such advice is not idle. It is immediate companionship with a soul-artist like David, who works iron until it melts and he can shape it. Spirit is the art of making what's blocked start moving again. When your body dies, give it to the death-angel, Israfil. If your heart feels numb and metallic, walk out into the sun, or whatever the mystery is that makes your inner spring well up. There was once a sage who felt this flow moving inside him. As he walked into the garden that was being restored with springwater, he gave names to aspects of the vital dance he was doing: the animal's hungry agility and the connoisseur's intelligent choice. Blessings on Hakim Sanai, who could put those two in one gesture! ~Rumi~ LoveAlways, Mazie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
