Not Here
There's courage involved if you want
to become truth. There is a broken-
open place in a lover. Where are
those qualities of bravery and sharp
compassion in this group? What's the
use of old and frozen thought? I want
a howling hurt. This is not a treasury
where gold is stored; this is for copper.

We alchemists look for talent that
can heat up and change. Lukewarm
won't do. Halfhearted holding back,
well-enough getting by? Not here.

I love Coleman Barks interpretations of Rumi. When we first moved here he did a reading with the cellist David Darling. It was to say the least a wonderful evening.
Wonderful post, dear!!!!
Missing you... lovely words and shot.
Thank you!
Warm hug and friendship.
Is that a Kansas photo? :)
