The story behind this entry goes back to 1985 when I was living on Orcas Island in Washington State. I had the honor of meeting and talking with Richard Bach, author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
Our conversation centered around my desire to become a published author and his devastating experiences with literary agents. His famous book was also rejected by eighteen publishers before being accepted.

The Seeker stood before a serene ocean of loving energy. Quiet wonder filled his heart as he absorbed the majesty of his surroundings. “Release yourself from yourself,” the Master whispered.
He pointed toward the vast endless ocean shimmering wildly before his eyes, like dancing atoms. “Let this nameless world of knowing be your cloak of consciousness,” he advised, as they both took in the vast Ocean of Life.

Here’s to another lovely Sunday…Light rain graced the garden yesterday. This morning, I spent a little time with Apollo in the garden moving the little sign, “RELAX, LAUGH, REPEAT” near the blue pagoda. Of course, Apollo posed! He “KNOWS” he’s one ‘photogenic dude.’ (Feature photo)

An uplifting, heart-touching love song about a special place that’s all within the heart’s embrace.

As I was waking up the other day, the word “Walmart,” came to me. OK, I thought. I have nothing to lose. I will go to Walmart. Another word that had come to me the previous morning was, “Volunteer.”
I got in the car and headed over to Walmart. Timing is everything when I am on a mission, and I can’t mentally figure that out, so I just go about my day with Divine expectation.

It was 1:00 pm when I left camp accompanied by light winds and a
temperature of 75 degrees under crystal clear skies. If all goes to
plan, I’ll be sitting on the summit of Colorado’s 13,500 foot Mt.
Shimby in time to watch the sun disappear beneath the horizon, back in
camp by 3 or 4 am.

The game hadn’t gone well, and there was much frustration, some strong emotions, and tempers had flared. Even though we had played together for years, the air was fraught with tension.

This song serves as a poignant reminder of love’s transformative power. The inner heart, filled with love, acts as a bridge between our earthly selves and the divine essence within. The lyrics came to me with remarkable ease; once the title emerged, the words seemed to pour forth of their own accord, requiring little conscious effort on my part.

I am a Rumi fan, but have only read his shorter works, having never tackled one of his best known poems, “The Reed.” So I decided to write a poem as if I did know what The Reed was about and this is the result.
But what is interesting is that “Bamboo” was written years before our home burned in an urban wildfire. It is as if I was being given strength to understand what that experience was all about before it happened and know that I, too, would become the flute.

Blessing: A divine favor, or something made holy (Webster’s 2nd Dictionary).
2019 was the ECK “Year of Blessings.” The year before, 2018, was the “Year of Giving.” One can recognize the continuity: in order to receive love, one must first give love.
