Hafiz - The Gift
I know the idiot's warehouse is always full.
I know each of us could run back and forth from there all
day long, and show everyone our vast collection.
Though tonight, Hafiz, retire from the madness for an hour, gather with some loyal friends or sit alone
and sing beautiful songs...
To God.
The Bijak of Kabir
No one knows the secret of the weaver who spreads his warp
through the universe. He dug two ditches, sky and earth, made two spools, sun and
moon, filled his shuttle with a thousand threads, and weaves till today: a
difficult length!
Kabir says, they're joined by actions. Good threads and bad,
that fellow weaves both.

Kirtan
Greetings. Summer officially ended with the equinox last
Tuesday afternoon. The cycle continues.
...is a time
for people to come together, open their hearts and sing. For years
chanting has helped people to effortlessly reach a state of quiet and
stillness that easliy leads to meditation. While it's true that we can
chant in our car or in the solitude of our home, there's nothing like
chanting with others and with live musicians. Every kirtan is different
depending on the energy of the group, but as the evening progresses one
becomes saturated with the Name, the mind becomes one-pointed and
dropping into a deep state of meditation becomes effortless.
