there is no life story to react to or edit!"

Rumi

There have been recent comments added to 'Is Today The Day I Will Die?'  Really quite insightful with beauty and depth.  Thank you.  May add another 'new' post but am very moved to share this Rumi poem at this time:

"Your grief for what you've lost lifts a mirror up to where you're bravely working.

Expecting the worst, you look and instead, here's the joyful face you've been wanting to see.

Your hand opens and closes and opens and closes.  If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralyzed.

Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birdwings."

(RUMI...We Are Three by Coleman Barks)
