Malena - Ennio Morricone
New Blossoms
Sit near someone who has had the experience.
Walking the section of the market
They will take your money and sit you down
Not every reed is sugarcane.
Not every eye can see.
Instead of that airy commotion
Rumi
Sit under a tree with new blossoms.
where chemists sell essences,
you will receive conflicting advice.
Go towards kindness.
If you are not sure where that is,
you will be drawn in by fakes.
on their doorstep saying, I’ll be right back.
But they have another door they leave by.
Do not dip your cup in a pot
just because it has reached the simmering point.
Not every under has an over.
Or it may be you cannot thread the needle
because it already has thread in it.
Your loving alertness is a lantern.
Keep it protected from wind
that makes it crazy.
live in the water that gently cools
as it flows. Be a helpful friend,
and you will become a green tree
with always new fruit,
always deeper journeys into love.
We cannot decide
There has never been a beauty like yours.
We cannot decide which we love most,
You undid them all at once.
Any power that comes through us is you.
It is better to ask the flowery grass,
If you are seeking, seek us with joy
Do not give your heart to anything else
For there are hopes: they are real, they exist—
Rumi
Your face, your eyes, your presence.
your gracefulness or your generosity.
I came with many knots in my heart,
like the magician's rope.
I see now the splendor of the student
and that of the teacher's art.
Love and this body sit inside your presence,
one demolished, the other drunk.
We smile. We weep, tree limbs
turning sere, then light green.
Any wish. What does a rock know of April?
the jasmine, and the redbud branch.
Seeking
Rumi
For we live in the kingdom of joy.
But to the love of those who are clear joy,
Do not stray into the neighborhood of despair.
Do not go in the direction of darkness—
I tell you: suns exist.
