Step into the light

By and by love becomes

not a relationship,

it becomes a state of your being.

Not that you are in love,

now YOU ARE love. "

                             - Mevlana RUMI

The sun shines brightly

Insistent, persistent

That I participate in the day

“Come out and play!” it cries

And I resist

I am tired

and dejected

disappointed

I would rather sit

And watch the light from a cool dark place

But still the sun calls

Resolute and demanding

“You cannot merely watch the light

You must participate in it

You must dance, and twirl

You must open your arms and look toward the heavens

You must let the light shine into you

filling

and through you

shining

so that all around you is illuminated!

Come!”

Ah Sacred Light!

Spirit

Love

You will not let us be!

Thank God!
