Lars,

Sorry but no, it was because I missed it too.

Then, I remembered. That was when we left on that last long trip that included a week in NM with my MIL before she died.

I shall have the joy of a month or more of "fresh" Rumis. Ah, sublime.

A Year With Rumi by Coleman Barks

Say Who I Am (1)

I am dust particles in sunlight.
I am the round sun.

To the bits of dust I say, Stay.
To the sun, Keep moving.

I am morning mist,
and the breathing of evening.

I am wind in the top of a grove,
and surf on the cliff.

Mast, rudder, helmsman, and keel,
I am also the coral reef they founder on.

I am a tree with a trained parrot in its branches.
Silence, thought, and voice.

Kabbalah 365 - Daily Fruit from the Tree of Life
by Gershon Winkler

Day 364

Three of the heavenly realms are comprised solely of women, and no men are permitted there. The first realm is led by Bat'yah the daughter of Pharoah, and she leads myriad thousands of women who merit to bask in her presence. Three times daily, she conjures the image of Moses and declares: "Happy is my share in that I raised this Light."

A second heavenly realm is led by Serach the daughter of Asher. Three times a day, she conjures the image of Joseph and runs toward him in celebration, declaring: "How joyful is that day when through song and dance I delivered the news to my grandfather Jacob that Joseph was alive !"

A third heavenly realm is led by Yo'cheved the mother of Moses. In this realm, no images are conjured. Rather, Yo'cheved leads the women of her realm in song and chant three times daily, and all who are in the other heavens delight in her beautiful voice.

- Sefer Ha'Zohar, Vol 4, folio 167b

Let Go, Let God
I let go and let God lead the way.

Winter sports offer an opportunity for fun and adventure. They also illustrate how one might face life's challenges. Observe a group of beginning skiers and their expressions as they ride the lift up the slope. Some may look apprehensive, others excited. Some may be fearful, anticipating a fall. Others are joyous and free, ready to face the slope with confidence.

Which of these two groups of skiers best describes me at this moment? Do I anticipate what might go wrong, or do I greet each situation with expectation of good? Do I let go and let God? On this day, I let go of any fear that may be holding me back. I let go, let God and enjoy the adventure!

You have made me stride freely, and my feet do not slip.--2 Samuel 22:37

Daily Word -Tuesday, December 29, 2009
Integrity
I am centered in the integrity of Spirit.

I dedicate myself to do what I know to be right and good for all concerned. Standing centered in the integrity of Spirit, I express respect and honesty in my thoughts, words and actions. My intention to live a life of integrity goes before me, making straight my way. I go about my day and my life with Spirit as my moral compass, achieving my goals to the best of my ability.

Integrity clothes itself in many garments. It is called honesty, honor, virtue and knowing oneness with God. When I consistently light my candle of integrity, I extinguish the negativity and fear in my world. With each reliable, truthful choice, I am a blessing. I bring light into the world by living from the integrity of my Christ-center.

He walked with me in integrity and uprightness, and he turned many from iniquity.--Malachi 2:6

Day 363

Know that the seventh realm of the heavens is actually one and the same with the seventh realm of the earth. Both the heavens and the earth are comprised of seven realms, but the seventh of each share the very same mystery and are guarded by the same spirits.

Very deep indeed Deb and from a beauty that is almost unworldly. What I mean by that is that in deep pain we will be tempted to look for a way out anywhere but in the pain, not believing that the gate to heaven may lie hidden just there.
Thank you.
And you can hug me instead ...giggle...

Today, I am clear that I am a dynamic vessel of energy. I invite in positive, powerful, and life-enhancing energy. Thus, I transmit light-filled energy wherever I am.

I could just hug Rumi (if he were physically here), for this one,
on this glorious day -

The cure for pain is in the pain.

Good and bad are mixed. If you don't have both,
you do not belong with us.

When someone gets lost, is not here,
he must be inside us.

May it speak to you, in your own way, if it is meant to.

Deb

Prosperity
I give and receive with an attitude of gratitude.

Abundance is mine, and I am so grateful for it! I see the abundance of God all around me--in the smiles of children, in the thoughtful gestures of people with whom I come in contact, and in the special gifts I give and receive.

This time of year, when I may feel depleted of time and resources, I make it a point to change my attitude. I know that all good things are readily available to me. I retain an attitude of gratitude for all I give and all I receive.

I embrace and enjoy this season with positivity, thankful for the many blessings it brings me and knowing that abundance is mine today and every day.

I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because he judged me faithful and appointed me to his service.--1 Timothy 1:12

Isn't this just the most fitting Daily Kabbalah Reading we could have this day, when we had the last Gaia Minute guided meditation conference call with Siona this morning for 2009 ?

What amazing and beautiful images this conjures up in my heart and mind ! ! !

Kabbalah 365 - Daily Fruit from the Tree of Life
by Gershon Winkler

Day 362

Come and see, that when God Breath descends to this world, she becomes Soul and passes first through the Mountains of Individuation where she binds with Wind Spirit. Together they continue further toward the earth and bind with Earth Spirit. And in their manifestation they continue to intertwine one with the other until they become as one. Rabbi Yehudah taught: "Wind Spirit and Earth Spirit bind together as one. However, God Breath does not bind with them but dwells deep within the person, waiting to be drawn into union with the other two through a person's deeds and choices."

- Sefer Ha'Zohar, Vol 1, folio 62a

Day 361

The Creator is not God, and God is not the Creator. God is more than the Creator and the Creator is but a minute attribute of God who is Infinite. This is likened to the ocean, which is vast, and one cannot see its end, only a small area of it. and if one were to take a stick and create a groove in the sand, only a trickle of the vast ocean would fill it. The ocean is analogous to the infinity of God; the trickle in the groove is analogous to the Creator, which is but a single aspect of the infinity of the great divine mystery we so glibly refer to as God.

Presence
The unconditional love of Christ lives in me.

More than two thousand years ago, Jesus was born in Bethlehem. As He grew in wisdom and stature, He began to teach so that others might follow His example. Today I humbly honor Jesus by accepting His instruction to love others and myself unconditionally.

Putting away all thoughts of past errors or mistakes, I allow the loving Christ nature to be born anew in me. I center my thoughts on the kingdom of Heaven, a consciousness of wholeness and holiness. I was created in the image and likeness of God, and I now accept the truth of who I am. I live in the presence of unconditional love, and the unconditional love of Christ lives in me.

I pray that ... Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love.--Ephesians 3:16, 17

Re: December 27
