:: 8.17.2002 ::
I watched a great meteor shower the other night and I've been working on some new music over at North Pearl. I logged on with intentions of finishing up the Bonnaroo epic, but I'm just not in the mood right now.
so instead, this:
Where Everything Is Music
Don't worry about saving these songs!
And if one of our instruments breaks,
it doesn't matter.
We have fallen into the place
where everything is music.
The strumming and the flute notes
rise into the atmosphere,
and even if the whole world's harp
should burn up, there will still be
hidden instruments playing.
So the candle flickers and goes out.
We have a piece of flint, and a spark.
This singing art is sea foam.
The graceful movements come from a pearl
somewhere on the ocean floor.
Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge
of driftwood along the beach, wanting!
They derive from a slow and powerful root
that we can't see.
Stop the words now.
Open the window in the center of your chest,
and let the spirits fly in and out.
from 'The Essential Rumi' - translations by Coleman Barks
and if you're reading, I hope the root canal wasn't too bad..
