Have you not heard the phrase, “With joy in your heart”? And what if you capitalize Joy and think of this not as a word or an emotion, but the Source of all connections? Where there are only connections, you know oneness … Love. The heart is the focal point for all of your connections. Come to know this as the seat of Joy, and you will look upon all others and all things in a w-holy new Light. You are so very loved.
So glad to hear Suzanne mention Rumi’s poetry. Please suggest to Suzanne that she read Hafiz poetry, another 13th century Persian poet and scholar. She would enjoy “Barroom View Of Love” and Skinning Your Knees on God.”
