The Subject Tonight is Love
The subject tonight is Love
And for tomorrow night as well,
As a matter of fact
I know of no better topic
For us to discuss
Until we all
Die!

One of the things that I am very much enjoying and are grateful for which is part of my new experience with Facebook is that on opening my page I am so often greeted by many wonderful pieces of people’s writings and poetry that I love that have been posted by my Friends. How completely unexpected this is for me – the internet being a place where I can visit with and be reminded of so many of my beloved wise mentors…..
This morning it was Hafiz……and just with a few clicks of the mouse I am in another world of beauty and delight….. Thank you Friends for reminding me of some of the things that I love and inviting me again and again back into precious places in my heart. And thank you for the reminder that things aren’t always what we expect them to be…….!
Questions for you: who’s writings/poetry/quotes soften your heart and inspire you to ♥LOVE deeper? Share with a special friend and/or your Beloved for a minimum of 5 minutes with mirroring what it is that touches you about their work(s).
with LOVE♥ from a softened and touched Susie♥♥

Something special about those persians. Here’s a formula for living and loving from Rumi..
In generosity and helping others, be like a river.
In compassion and grace, be like the sun.
In concealing orhers’ faults, be like the night.
In anger and fury, be as if you have died.
In modesty and humility, be like the earth.
In tolerance, be like the sea.
Appear as you are, or be as you appear.
~ Rumi
