The Freshness<\/p>\n

When it’s cold and raining,
\nyou are more beautiful.<\/p>\n

And the snow brings me
\neven closer to your lips.<\/p>\n

The inner secret, that which was never born,
\nyou are that freshness, and I am with you now.<\/p>\n

I can’t explain the goings,
\nor the comings. You enter suddenly,<\/p>\n

and I am nowhere again.
\nInside the majesty.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

– From Soul of Rumi
\nby Coleman Barks<\/p>\n

Respect for this translator<\/a> of the most difficult and beautiful…Persian in 13th Century … that would most certainly be “Greek” to me.
\nSheer Respect.
\nWish “sublime relaxation” would come over me:) My intention for my own practice of Soul Growth through stillness (that does not mean non-movement) and quiet peace (that does not mean there are no sounds…in fact, it might be so loud out there). Amidst the movements and noise, we find our own innermost serenity. Sometimes:)<\/p>\n
