here's a little song that we sing at the end of yoga practice. i think it's beautiful, so i want to share it.
"may the longtime sun
shine upon you
all love surround you
and the pure light within you
guide your way on"
we sing it three times, and each time we dedicate it to someone (known or unknown to us). feels good to project positive energy this way.
and here's a poem from Rumi's "feeling the shoulder of the lion":
The Circle Around Zero
a lover doesn't figure the odds.
he figures he came clean from God
as a gift without reason,
so he gives without cause
or calculation or limit.
a conventionally religious person
behaves a certain way
to achieve salvation.
a lover gambles everything, the self,
the circle around zero! he or she
cuts and throws it all away.
this is beyond
any religion.
lovers do not require from God any proof,
or any text, not do they knock on a door
to make sure this is the right street.
they run,
and they run.
until next time - peace!!
