Krishna
Give me ecstasy, give me naked wonder, O my Creator!
Give birth to the Beloved in me, and let this lover die.
Let a thousand wrangling desires become one Love.
~ Rumi

Observe the wonders as they occur around you.
Don’t claim them.
Feel the artistry moving through
and be silent.

Keep walking, though there’s no place to get to.
Don’t try to see through the distances.
That’s not for human beings. Move within,
but don’t move the way fear makes you move.
~ Rumi
Hundreds of mysteries...
Who sees inside from outside?
Who finds hundreds of mysteries
even where minds are deranged?
See through his eyes what he sees.
Who then is looking out from his eyes?
♥
Listen to presences inside poems,
Let them take you where they will.
Follow those private hints,
and never leave the premises.
♥
~ Rumi
hidden in plain sight...
You so subtle you can slip into my soul,
how would it be if you, for a time,
were living visibly here?
So hidden you’re hidden from hidden things,
you enter me, and my hiddenness
shines like a lantern.
~ Rumi
^ Who is the artist? I'd love to know!
When the ocean surges,
don’t let me just hear it.
Let it splash inside my chest!
♥
All your talk is worthless
when compared to
one whisper of the Beloved.
♥
Bitter is sweet and
exhaustion, love.
No is a thousand yesses
in the code of emptiness.

~ Rumi
Rabbit in the Moon...
As you start on the way,
the way appears.
When you cease to be,
real being comes.
~ Rumi
.
Happy full moon, everybody! ♥
Be the noise...
There is a community of the spirit.
Join it, and feel the delight
of walking in the noisy street
and being the noise.
Drink all your passion,
and be a disgrace.
Close both eyes
to see with the other eye.
~ Rumi
The snow brings me even closer...
When it’s cold and raining,
you are more beautiful.
And the snow brings me
even closer to your lips.
The inner secret, that which was never born,
you are that freshness, and I am with you now.
I can’t explain the goings,
or the comings. You enter suddenly,
and I am nowhere again.
Inside the majesty.
~ Rumi
Quietly breathing through the bittersweetness of Shiva's tough love; discovering the art of becoming empty, disentangled, being undone... ॐ
