Ordeal. The time of testing is here. Words like fortitude and valor mean something among people again. Old agreements weaken and break. When the knife reaches the bone, your life must change. Be glad the refining fire is around you. Laugh as you stand on this doorsill. Out of your dry thorn opens a rose garden. Rumi 4 Comments Flow 4 23/07/2010
Out of myself, but wanting to go beyond that, wanting what I see in your eyes, not power, but to kiss the ground with the dawn breeze for company, wearing white pilgrim cloth. I have a certain knowing. Now I want sight. Rumi Falling into you 17/07/2010
I am not this. Your beauty closes my eyes, and I am falling into that. You cut the umbilical with this love that's been with me since birth. My mother saw your mountain reflected in my face, you that lift coverings, you that bring death. We agreed on this before creation. I've been so hidden. Ask my body who I am. It says solid ground. Ask my soul. Dizzy as the wind. Neither. I stand here facing Shams of Tabriz. Rumi Whispers of eternity 09/07/2010
Good things come in threes it seems - I've got lots to tell you this week! !) Issue 5 of Pink Panther Magazine is out and one of my pieces, Eyes to see, is on the cover! There's also news of my exhibition and a few more images on page 15, and Cosmic mother 3 is on page 75. 2) Enchanted forest has just appeared in issue 4 of the online magazine Sublime Rush, on pages 192-203, in an article on the Energy Art Movement. If you’re interested in reading the article just click on the link and look for Energy Art. 3) Artsyshark has done an update on what their featured artists are up to now. If you're interested you can check it out here. And now it seems a little paradoxical to move from self promotion to Rumi's poetry but, well, life's like that so here we go. If you catch a fragrance of the unseen, like that, you won't be able to be contained. You'll be out in the empty sky. Any beauty the world has, any desire, will easily be yours. As you live deeper in the heart, the mirror gets clearer and cleaner. Rumi Portal 4 02/07/2010
Just thought I'd let you know that two of my pieces, Enchanted forest and Web of life will be appearing in an exhibition called Energizing Radiance 2010 at Gallery Fifty Six (Memphis, TN, USA). The exhibition runs from July 9 – August 3, and I hope you'll drop by if you're in the area. Day before yesterday, fire whispered to the fragrant smoke, Aloes wood loves me, because I know how to untie it and let it loose. This burning must occur, or nothing will happen. Sperm cell disappears into egg. Then a new beauty appears. It is necessary for you to experience nonbeing. Love takes you toward that. Asleep beside the splashing water, let it say secrets into you. Be a sleep and a pure listening at the same time. Rumi | Fractal news
