Light Breeze

As regards feeling pain, like a hand cut in battle,
consider the body a robe

you wear. When you meet someone you love, do you kiss their clothes?
Search out

who's inside. Union with God is sweeter than body
comforts.
We have hands and feet

different from these. Sometimes in dream we see them.
That is not

illusion. It's seeing truly. You do have a spirit body;
don't dread leaving the

physical one. Sometimes someone feels this truth so
strongly
that he or she can live in

mountain solitude totally refreshed. The worried, heroic
doings of men and women seem weary

and futile to dervishes enjoying the light breeze of spirit.

Rumi

poems for passing

http://anuradha.gaia.com — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 04:29:45 GMT

The day I've died, my pall is moving on -
But do not think my heart is still on earth!
Don't weep and pity me: "Oh woe, how awful!"
You fall in devil's snare - woe, that is awful!
Don't cry "Woe, parted!" at my burial -
For me this is the time of joyful meeting!
Don't say "Farewell!" when I'm put in the grave -
A curtain is it for eternal bliss.
You saw "descending" - now look at the rising!
Is setting dangerous for sun and moon?
To you it looks like setting, but it's rising;
The coffin seems a jail, yet it means freedom.
Which seed fell in the earth that did not grow there?
Why do you doubt the fate of human seed?
What bucket came not filled from out the cistern?
Why should the Yusaf "Soul" then fear this well?
Close here your mouth and open it on that side.
So that your hymns may sound in Where- no-place!

Rumi

This is wondrous, wondrous. "Experiencing the Soul." I wish to memorize every word in this divine book and video, so I can sing them to myself in the dark of night, spiral the images around me as I pass through the day. They fill me with such joy and purpose! Thank you, Anna.

I came across this video this morning and decided to share it here. Many things in this video resonated with me, but I would like to share just 1 aspect.
That part in me that I call my Inner voice has always told me that my loved ones can now see what is happening in my life and are smiling at me with full understanding.
The reason it has taken me so long to fully comprehend this, is that I projected my suffering on their departure.

May all being be without suffering.

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
when you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning to stay,
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of the future that you planned:
Only remember me, you understand
it will be to late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Christina Rossetti.(1830-1894)

Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death. --Unknown

Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live. --Norman Cousins

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

This body is not me

http://anuradha.gaia.com — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 17:41:44 GMT

This body is not me.

I am not limited by this body.
I am life without boundaries.
I have never been born,
and I have never died.
Look at the ocean
and the sky filled with stars,
manifestations from my wondrous true mind.
Since before time,
I have been free.
Birth and death are only doors
through which we pass,
sacred thresholds on our journey.
Birth and death
are a game of hide- and seek.
So laugh with me, hold my hand,
let us say good-bye,
say good-bye, to meet again soon.
We meet today.
We will meet again tomorrow.
We will meet at the source every moment.
We meet each other in all forms of life.

~By Thich Nhat Hanh

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So He put His arms around you
And whispered 'Come with Me.'
With tearful eyes
We watched you suffer
And saw you fade away
Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove
He only takes the best.
It's lonesome here without you
We miss you more each day
Life doesn't seem the same
Since you've gone away.
When days are sad and lonely
And everything goes wrong
We seem to hear you whisper
'Cheer up and carry on.'
Each time we see your picture
You seem to smile and say
'Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping
We'll meet again someday.'
