Dear Friend

If we can't remember every moment that the heart of living is Love, then at least we can remember once a day.

If we can't remember each day that the heart of living is Love, then at least we can remember once a week.

If we can't remember once a week that the heart of living is Love, then at least we can remember once a month.

If we can't remember once a month that the heart of living is Love, then at least we can remember once a year!

And that time has come!

Throw open the doors of your heart!
The world has been crying out for your Love!
The Divine has sent sweet tendrils of Love
to embrace your heart and soul.
Celebrate Love in all her blessed forms!

Love Poems From God











Fragile

So fragile this petal the earth,
as fragile as
love.

Mirabai p. 262




With Passion

With
passion pray. With
passion work. With passion make love.
With passion eat and drink and dance and play.
Why look like a dead fish
in this ocean
of
God?

Rumi
p. 61




When Someone I Love Is Near

I know the vows the sun and moon took;
they are in love but they don't
touch.

But why should I not let my face become
lit before this
earth

when someone I cherish
is near?

St. Catherine of Sienna
p. 206





 


 Kali's Bazaar penned by Kalidas
 Yoga International Review

Kali's Bazaar cover Kali's Bazaar is poetry in the ecstatic tradition of Hafiz, Rumi, and Kabir. This type of poem isn't cultivated or tidy; it's devotional and raw. The fundamental drive and message of Kalidas's poems are eternally important-they speak of love, fearlessness, and joy, and they speak about all of these things in a large voice. The style of the poems departs from the more refined voice of traditional poetry, which might not appeal to every ear. But because of their driving intent to realize and "see through," the poems in Kali's Bazaar are worth a look for anyone trying to do the same.

Thank you all for your notes of appreciation for our newsletter. It's great to hear from you!

Everyone has the heart to be a true friend of the soul, an "Anam Cara." By embodying that ideal we may serve to help others to find love and compassion within themselves and the world.

Our highest nature is always manifest in relationship - to all other beings, to the environment, in relation to our own body and mind. Becoming mindful of the quality of our relationships allows us to learn where the light shines and where it needs to shine more. The ideal of Anam Cara is to continuously endeavor to expand the depth and the inclusiveness of the loving kindness we bring into every relationship, every moment, every breath.

If you have any suggestions, comments or sharings, for our newsletter please don't hesitate to e-mail me and I'll do my best to respond.
