Reflectology (1)

[netpositive]

If you are irritated by every rub,
how shall your mirror be polished?
-Rumi

If it looks like a duck,
water runs off its feathers.
If it sounds like water,
rivers flow downhill, over rocks.
If it feels like a rock,
jewels and glass both reflect light.
If it acts like a reflection,
polish it and see what lies within.
Sometimes you can only see your own image
by looking into the still waters of another.
The flaws in your own glass are too close.
Ruffled feathers may need to be smoothed down
before one goes swimming -- or flying.

A week in the life - a view of the soul.
A lot of meetings going on. Some are productive,
some clearly still rehearsals for breakthroughs.
Digging through steamed crabs for the sweet meat,
and the guts.
Learning to draw, to doodle, with both hands.
A sampler of Spanish cheeses, glasses of sangria.
Walking home hot-blooded in the pouring rain.

I appreciate my rewards, no matter how small.
I appreciate the goodwill of my good friends.
The gift of time is far greater than it looks.




If I were made of metal


Windows, pretty windows

When you list the things you want
out of life for yourself and for humanity,
you can’t help but focus your attention on
spiritual matters. It’s a reminder of your core
values -- what you really believe is important.
Rabbi Max Weiman

A goal is a dream with a deadline. But do
dream first. Then worry about the details.
