THE ALCHEMY OF LOVE ( Rumi )
You come to us
from another world
From beyond the stars
and void of space.
Transcendent, Pure,
Of unimaginable beauty,
Bringing with you
the essence of love
You transform all
who are touched by you.
Mundane concerns,
troubles, and sorrows
dissolve in your presence,
Bringing joy
to ruler and ruled
To peasant and king
You bewilder us
with your grace.
All evils
transform into
goodness.
You are the master alchemist.
You light the fire of love
in earth and sky
in heart and soul
of every being.
Through your love
existence and nonexistence merge.
All opposites unite.
All that is profane
becomes sacred again.
I'm evolving, learning, expanding all the time. I'm embracing change and realizing the power of living in the now. I love and loved to be loved. Knowing that loving oneself is the start to a healthy relationship with another. I'm not set in my ways and open to new thought and positive influences. I've put so much energy and effort into work most of my life and come to recently realize the importance of what the Buddha teaches us, " Success is not the key to Happiness, Happiness is the key to Success"! I also love teachings and quotes from Jesus, Martin Luther King, Gandhi, Don Miguel Ruiz, Peter Gabriel, Einstein and so on... I'd like to coin my own phrases one of these days. I love the infinite possibility and potential in all of us. I want to write, create music, learn to play the guitar, make art because I can and believe the next great thing is just a thought away. I spend my happiest hours relearning childhood from an expert, my 5 year old son. I believe that communication and strong emotional connections are key to longevity. I'm honest, loyal, giving, creative, resourceful, caring, sensitive, and soulful. I like candle lit rooms, nag champa incense, and herbal tea. I occasionally enjoy wine with food but do not drink to get drunk . If I walk by a eucalyptus tree I tend to break a leaf and roll it in my hands to release it's aroma. Same with lavender, rosemary, & most fresh herbs. I use essential oils for cologne. Some of the best things in life for me have been free. I like documentaries, Food Inc. Instead of T.V. I prefer watching the sunrise or sunset, enjoying all types of weather weather, getting or giving a massage, finding beauty everywhere.
