With Passion!

With Passion

With

passion pray.

With passion make love.

With passion eat and drink and dance and play.

Why look like a dead fish

in this ocean

of

God?

-Rumi

Translated by D. Ladinsky

Why Aren't We Screaming Drunks?

Why Aren't We Screaming Drunks?

The sun once glimpsed God's true nature

And has never been the same.

Thus that radiant sphere

Constantly pours its energy

Upon this earth

As does He from behind

The veil.

With a wonderful God like that

Why isn't everyone a screaming drunk?

Hafiz's guess is this:

Any thought that you are better or less

Than another man

Quickly

Breaks the wine

Glass.

Sweet Dreams

The Hen House came with a blank slate of a yard. There are a couple of trees and a very overgrown rosebush. I have been planting little beds and pots of herbs for cooking. I have planted lots of varieties of lavender and they are all thriving. I gathered this wee nosegay and hung it on our headboard. Sweet dreams indeed. Xo.

A Tidbit

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.

-Rachel Carson

I Love...

how flat fabric you find on the clearance table can turn into this...A linen pillow cover with cotton lace and a fun polka dot skirt for my girl. She let's me make her clothes again. Heehee!

Where To Go

I am at another crossroads. The decision feels overwhelming and scary. So, here I sit. Waiting. Wondering. Pondering. Where to go next...

I Really Like Him
