Waking from a long dream . . .as a screaming lunatic!

From Eknath Easwaran’s Thought for the Day
It is permissible to take life’s blessings with both hands provided thou dost know thyself prepared in the opposite event to take them just as gladly. This applies to food and friends and kindred, to anything God gives and takes away.
– Meister Eckhart

From TUT:
Brilliant, civilization-changing ideas are a dime a dozen, Kim. Physically taking action to implement them, however, beginning with baby steps that seem to accomplish very little, is what gets the crowds here screaming like raving lunatics.

In the good way... that lunatics scream... you know?

Peanuts! Popcorn! Cotton candy! It's the show of a lifetime!
The Universe

From Daily Rumi:
There is no wine without You,
no use for the rosary without Your hand.
From afar You order me to dance
bu unless You set the stage and
open the curtain, my Beloved,
how can I dance?
-- Translation by Azima Melita Kolin
and Maryam Mafi

Saturday night/Sunday morning I had a very powerful dream. There were many people that I know in real life, several people I've never met, Spiritual Elders and a profound sense of love in the dream.

It was a very simple dream, really. I was sitting on the ground with a can of water in my hand (like a soup can). A person to my right would scoop up water with their soup can and hand it to me. I would sit with the soup can full of water, add it to my can, then pour my can of water into a body of water to my left. The dream went on like this for a very, very long time. No one talked, they just handed me their can of water...

All day Sunday I felt different. There was nothing really special about the way I felt, just that I felt different.

This morning I am lifted...and there is more in my heart than before.

Off to start my day!
Love ya,
Kimbo
