I love love. what can I say? It is the driving force in my life, to be in love, even if it is just the being in love with love. I find that if I do not dwell on this feeling all is despair, and pessimism and darkness. some would say I don't see the world for what it is. And I don't.... I see what can be. And if I see what is absolutely stupendous which is usually nature and the hearts of beautiful souls I have known, I dream and dream and dream some more. And then I talk. Or I copy the poetry reflecting my dreams and thoughts in my blog. So here is something from Rumi, I found today in my in box to share with you...... Peace out....
Those who don't feel this Love
pulling them like a river,
those who don't drink dawn
like a cup of spring water
or take in sunset like supper,
those who don't want to change,
pulling them like a river,
those who don't drink dawn
like a cup of spring water
or take in sunset like supper,
those who don't want to change,
Let them sleep.
This Love is beyond the study of theology,
that old trickery and hypocrisy.
If you want to improve your mind that way,
that old trickery and hypocrisy.
If you want to improve your mind that way,
Sleep on.
I've given up on my brain.
I've torn the cloth to shreds
and thrown it away.
I've torn the cloth to shreds
and thrown it away.
If you're not completely naked,
wrap your beautiful robe of words
around you,
wrap your beautiful robe of words
around you,
And sleep.
