Beloved Life
How is it possible to be drenched in bliss
while drowning in grief?
How is it possible that a symphony
emerging from a silver noise-box
could move into one’s body
picking up the cells as though
they were instruments waiting idly in the wings
and move the music through them –
make the music with them –
so that they and the music were
one thing in glorious exaltation?
How is it possible that this exaltation
could contain every note of human
suffering as well as its delight?
On listening, this summer’s morning, to Mahler: Fourth movement, Adagietto, from Symphony No 5 in C# minor – New York Phil/Zubin Mehta

How indeed… The Mystery…. May Whispers of Love dance you… Love, C
Thank you sweet Christine – the depth and breadth of Love is such a shock. Rumi was right.

Dearest ML…Had to share this exquisite Music of our Dear ML.
Thank you XOXO
Hello dearest Leslie – sorry to take so long to get back to you – been away on a magical retreat in the bush – no Mahler, only Tuis, swallows and buzzing bees for company! Thanks, as always, for your loving comment …

i found this site by accident while enquiring on google the correct way to say “lay a fire in the hearth”… it was a fantastic feeling as I had only just the day before come from a Buddhist retreat. Imagine my delight.
Also I had listened to to Mahlers Adacgetto that day… I love coincidences like this.
Thank you for this website whoever you are wherever you are long may you shine.
with love, Jane.
Welcome dear Jane!

And long may you shine too 🙂
In love and gratitude

Reminds me of Rumi, and I love Rumi. Synchronicity – my husband and I just listened to an NPR podcast on Rumi.
Gosh – I take that as high praise indeed! Thank you, and a deep bow to you.
Love and gratitude
