WE READ BETWEEN THE LINES
salaam(peace) children;
In the digital waves of emails bring something we cannot help but share it. you dear ones, read the words in between the lines if you would please and, kindly do remember rule number 6.
  , i am sending this quote with a friend's commentary. how are you? lovekt
ÂÂÂÂÂ
ÂÂÂÂÂ
As you live deeper in the heart,
the mirror gets clearer and cleaner.
ÂÂÂÂÂ
Shams of Tabriz realized God in himself.
When that happens, you have no anxieties
about losing anyone or anything.
ÂÂÂÂÂ
You break the spells that human difficulties cause.
ÂÂÂÂÂ

‚ Ahhhh, to break the spells that human difficulties cause….
ÂÂÂÂÂ
I am still under the spell. I worry. I cry and experience hurt.ÂÂÂÂÂ
Last night Helen and I sat with a dearest friend who has lung cancer and walks with great difficulty. As we did healing energy work on him, I thought the healing was also for me. We have 38 years in that relationship. And just an hour before we had learned another friend also has lung cancer. These consultations with death tell me that the spell is not broken.
ÂÂÂÂÂ
But I believe Rumi is right. I believe that(breaking the spell) is where all these visitations with suffering take us. I felt the trembling in our friendÂÂÂÂ's knee, the fragility of his life, but there is also in that very same trembling movement a strength and truth ÂÂÂÂ"shaking outÂÂÂÂ" that says this body is not the essence of my friend. The Truth of him is far more alive and present than ever.
ÂÂÂÂÂ
These experiences are so important. They call us to live deeper in our heart, breaking our old hearts at every turn. It is what the Sufis call ÂÂÂÂ"polishing the heartÂÂÂÂ" — letting go of what isnÂÂÂÂ't really essential, letting go of lesser attachments, polishing the glass we see in so darkly, polishing it until in the mirror of the heart we see our true Self, God.
