imagine







Imagine the time the particle you are
returns where it came from!

The family darling comes home.   Wine
without being contained in cups,
is handed around.

A red glint appears in a granite outcrop,
and suddenly the whole cliff turns to ruby.




~ Rumi


Unconditional love really exists in each of us. 
It is part of our deep inner being.
 It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being.
 It's not 'I love you' for this or that reason,
 not 'I love you if you love me.' 
It's love for no reason, love without an object.

Magical quote from Rumi. For some reason I haven't read or listened to Ram Dass so will honour him by sitting with his words. These also endure, like wine capturing the sunshine of past summers.
