Gus's Desire

An amazing display of bulldog tenacity.  A smart bulldog.  Go Gus.

What the midwife knows

Every midwife knows
that not until a mother's womb softens from the pain of labor
will a way unfold and the infant find that opening to be born.
Oh friend!  There is treasure in your heart,
it is heavy with child.
Listen.
All the awakened ones, like trusted midwives,
are saying, welcome this pain,
It opens the dark passage of Grace.

Rumi

Poet of the heart, Rumi is exquisite.

God's Realization

Between the pillars of spirit and matter the mind has put up a swing.
There swings the bound soul and all the worlds with not even the slightest rest.
The sun and moon also swing, and there is no end to it.
The soul swings through millions of births like the endless circling of sun and moon.
Billions of ages have passed with no sigh of relief.
The earth and sky swing,
Wind and water swing,
Taking a body,
God himself swings.

-Kabir

What we have in us of the image of God is the love of truth and justice.

Demosthenes
