This is a gathering of
Lovers.
In this gathering
there is no high, no low,
no smart, no ignorant,
no special assembly,
no grand discourse,
no proper schooling required.
There is no master, no disciple.
This gathering is more like
a drunken party,
full of tricksters, fools,
mad men and mad women.
This is a gathering
of Lovers.
~Rumi
"Worry
not from a clear heart,
Like the polished glass of innocence.
The innocent mirror contains all, unashamed.
For this clarity, see yourself shamelessly.
This is truth.
As a glass shines bright with polish,
So the heart's mirror will shine,
the deeper you look.
Between the glass and the heart
there are only secrets."

For Susan - Artist of Being, Alive
I know you think
about how great it would be to have a
fully functioning body and the gardening and art you
could do.......it must be a frustration at times.
I saw this though, and immediately thought of you. I
want to share it:
"And yet, I know artists whose medium is Life itself
and who express the inexpressible without brush,
pencil, chisel or guitar. They neither paint or dance.
Their medium is Being. Whatever their hand touched has
increased Life. They See and don't have to draw. They
are the artists of being alive."

...thought I
would end with a quote from a very different
source that really grabbed me the first time I read it, and has
always
stood out in my mind afterwards. This quote is from Kurt
Vonnegut's
"The Sirens of Titan". It is a short conversation
between Salo and
Constant near the end of the book.
You finally fell in love, I see," said Salo.
"Only an Earthling year ago," said Constant. "It
took us that long to
realize that a purpose of human life, no matter who is
controlling it,
is to love whoever is around to be loved."

Dearest Friends,
Like stepping stones glowing brightly, shining wisdom-white in the clear moonlight illuminating them from within, I move slowly, in awe, and awarely over these god-stone silences vibrating as spiritual stepping-sounds abounding within Bob's beautiful photographic and literary artwork. Here are some sterling-whirling word-and-image pixel-dancers that have enhanced and enlivened my happy moments of reflecting upon each one I've viewed ... and ultimately been imbued with ~ From Beautiful Bob:
Some
Kiss We Want
There is some kiss
we want with
our
whole lives, the touch of
spirit on the
body. Seawater
begs
the pearl to break its shell.
And the lily,
how passionately
it
needs some wild darling! At
night, I open
the window and ask
the
moon to come and press its
face against
mine. Breathe into
me. Close the language- door and
open the love
window. The moon
won't
use the door, only the window. ~ Rumi

"When you
find yourself with the Beloved, embracing for |
|
"With the Beloved's water of life, no
illness remains
In
the Beloved's rose garden of union, no thorn remains.
They
say there is a window from one heart to another
How
can there be a window where no wall remains?"
~ Rumi
"When the sweet glance of my true love
caught my eyes,
Like
alchemy, it transformed my copper-like soul.
I
searched for Him with a thousand hands,
He
stretched out His arms and clutched my feet."
~ Rumi
"The minute I heard my first love
story,
I
started looking for you, not knowing
how
blind that was.
Lovers don't
finally meet somewhere,
they're
in each other all along."
~ Rumi
Thank you my Love, for all the wonderful words and images that you share with all of us each day. You so move me, my Love.
Gratitude for You, for Beautiful You, Bob,
Mazie
