No Words
There are absolutely no words to describe the position I find myself in tonight... I don't think I'm even going to try. I'm walking through such the thing right now that I'm almost too scared to go... I'm almost ready to turn back because it was easier.
I've turned every corner tonight. I've felt fear, loneliness, sadness, surprise, joy, awe, confidence, anger, more fear, lots more fear, unsure, shattered to the core... and all the while this wierd half smile or just slight upturn of the edges of my mouth..
I keep reminding myself... just put one foot in front of the other.. just one.
I haven't practiced in a week.
I need to practice.
We have to be heroes every day in order to do this heroic practice”.

I opened the Rumi book The Book of Love to find today's Rumi poem.... This is what came out:
Dance, when you're broken open.
Dance, if you've torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance, when you're perfectly free.
