Rumi, much?
(not to say your work is like his nor influenced by, but rather, it reminds me of his love for Truth and Presence)
AND MY RESPONSE
Chris,
To read that the words flowing through my post resonate in you and stir up a feltness to the close proximity of Love and Presence -- this brings back the quivering, and the delirious fever wrought by Love.
And a bit like the turtle, Love encourages us to step outside our self-imposed boundaries and shed our armor, to feeling perpetually and radically exposed. Love thus more openly grows and our presence with love touches the dreamer-lover authentic beings ready to awaken in others.
Words of appreciation land on the runway of this Heart and oh my goodness, what a commotion this does make. A new Heart Port is brought into service.
Mmmmmmm!
There are those that came before us (Rumi, Hafiz, Eckhart ...) that, through their example and deeds and radical poetic words, are the evolutionary architects and magic key masters for opening human hearts. It is their gift and legacy into this world, there words of delirious love woven into poems and stories that move us to override and gently dethrone the mind and mental fortresses, allowing the love feast to reign supreme.
When we experience someone living the words openly as their love for life, the runway of the heart unfolds and words on wings take off and land on more and more heart ports.
It is amazing grace to live in love and allow oneself to be consumed by it.
It brings tears of joy each time I read, hear or witness two or more heart-ports opening together, like between a father and his three year old son, Quantum.
ANY combination of two or more hearts
I sense that there are we amongst this fragmented and war-torn species of humanity, who are evolving and finely attuning to the collective heart within us. These "we" are turning the corner to evolve love more fully in the human domain, through our peaceful, persistent actions and intentions.
Thank you, dear friend, for also being a broadband signal holder of Love and Heart.
Howard
