Ponderings, Poems & Practices
    for Living Your Brilliance!

        Hello Beloveds,
The place where you right now
God circled on a map for you

Wherever your eyes and arms
and heart can move
Against the earth and the sky,
the beloved has bowed there-

The beloved has bowed there knowing
You were coming…

When I was first slammed by an achey-coughy virus last week,   I was hard on myself; my resistance flared up big time. I was not happy.

Then that quote by Hafiz came to me. 

It reminds me to let myself curl up and slowly soften into this discomfort.  I scan my body and notice where I’m still holding on.  Just the noticing brings an unclenching.

I am not happy about how I’m feeling.  I cough. I clench.  I come back and curl up with Hafiz and  I start again.

The place where I am right now
God circled on a map for me


Wherever my eyes and arms
and heart can move
Against the earth and the sky,
the beloved has bowed there-

The beloved has bowed there knowing
I was coming…

From this circled place,
I’m going back to bed.
