Zero Circle

Be helpless, dumbfounded,
Unable to say yes or no.
Then a stretcher will come from grace
to gather us up.

We are too dull-eyed to see that
beauty.
If we say we can, we’re lying.
If we say No, we don’t see it,
That No will behead us
And shut tight our window onto
spirit.

So let us rather not be sure of
anything,
Beside ourselves, and only that, so
Miraculous beings come running to
help.
Crazed, lying in a zero circle, mute,
We shall be saying finally,
With tremendous eloquence,
Lead us.
When we have totally surrendered to
that beauty,
We shall be a mighty kindness.

Rumi

We are not human beings making a spiritual journey...we are spiritual beings making a human journey.

lolol Scarl at how fun it is cutting things up... guess you tried that with the gnomes???

Kath, great idea. creative endeavors help us sort stuff out, eh?

T, I say make that art room as messy as possible!

Isn't Rumi just the greatest wordsmith?

Look up at the sky. Ask yourself, "Has the sheep eaten the flower or not?" And you'll see how everything changes.
And no grown-up will ever understand how such a thing could be so important!
