Silence
A day of silence
can be a pilgrimage in itself.
A day of silence
can help you listen
to the soul play
It's marvelous lute and drum.
Is not most talking
A crazed defence of a crumbling fort?
I thought we came here
To surrender to silence,
To yield to Light and Happiness,
To dance within
In celebration of Love's Victory!
Hafiz

I slept and dreamt that life was joy,
I awoke, and saw that life was Service
I acted and behold, Service was Joy.

Welcome all feelings they are coming up to leave. I spent most if my life pushing my feelings down afraid to feel them, not realising that all they wanted was to be acknowledged and released. Allowing them up is freeing me which is a revelation as I had believed keeping them down was the the way to stay "safe". Welcome especially the uncomfortable ones they really want some space to breathe and then they dissolve and melt away leaving a big open space for love to abide.
