Energy Share for Sunday
October 17, 2010

How did you get away?
You were the pet falcon of an old woman.
Did you hear the falcon-drum?
You were a drunken songbird put in with owls.
Did you smell the odor of a garden?

You got tired of sour fermenting
and left the tavern.
You went like an arrow to the target
from the bow of time and place.
The man who stays at the cemetery pointed the way,
but you didn't go.

You became light and gave up wanting to be famous.
You don't worry about what you're going to eat,
so why buy an engraved belt?

I've heard of living at the center, but what about
leaving the center of the center?
Flying toward thankfulness, you become
the rare bird with one wing made of fear,
and one of hope. In autumn,
a rose crawling along the ground in the cold wind.
Rain on the roof runs down and out by the spout
as fast as it can.

Talking is pain. Lie down and rest,
now that you've found a friend to be with.

These Branching Moments, Jelaluddin Rumi
Translated by Coleman Barks

Let us reunite once again as we release ourselves for a moment from daily drama, stress, noise, pain, and difficulty.  Joined in a circle of light that is only made possible by our uniquely heartfelt and committed spirits to create positively energizing influence. Knowing that together we are greater and stronger in a powerful bond of love, compassion, and harmony than we are separate and divided.  In the coming days, let the energizing boost fill you with peace and joy. Let yourself experience a renewed anticipation for living with passion in the present.  I also embrace the boost from you with gratitude and joy.

Thanks so much for all you do as friends and healers, especially with your presence and support in this energy share. Love truly does make the world go round.

Enjoy every moment and live the passionate life you intend it to be.

Aloha pumehana (with love, blessings, and affection),
