hidden treasure
My sister recently returned from an outing to the health food store with a fistful of the free rags that either line your shopping bag or trip you up on the way out the door.
Most of the time these are filled with cleverly disguised advertisements or articles on better living through colonic irrigation or confessions of a Midwestern housewife who channels Kundilini fire and calls herself Sara Swani.
However, one such publication led me to search for the works of Rumi, the 13th century Persian poet who was also a Dervish...yep, the whirling kind. I think more than anything what we all want is to feel free, free from societal pressures and those we shamefully impose upon ourselves.
I'd like to think that I'm wide open to new experiences...physically, spiritually, emotionally. What is right and good for me may not be for another - and that's perfectly alright -I don't have to play their game and I'll kindly leave them off my field.
So, when I came across the little gem below it spoke to me, even from the pages of a health food insert:
"Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there."
prevention is kinder than destruction. each year over six million healthy dogs, cats, puppies and kittens are killed as surplus. remember: neuter, spay and don't let them stray!
