Self Reinvention Year 15
Rumi - Guest House
This being human is a guest house
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out for
some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame,
the malice,meet them at the door
laughing,and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
Dreams
by: Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

"Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens." ~Carl Jung
"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." ~Maya Angelou

Hello Linda!
Goodness, it's been such a long long time since I've last read here. It's still as inspiring as ever. I have a lot of your posts to catch up with. I'm just glad to have found your link again! Hope everything is well.
I see you have an FB account. I'll send a friend request. Take care. :D
Hi Linda,
I think that widom is found in the letters and words from good books like this one, and from the hearts of our friends and families.
Staying in touch with my friend....
:)
I love your writing - powerful, existentially resonant stuff. I am really interested in the beautiful uses poets put psychological, critical and philosophical insights to, and your work is a rich tapestry of these. Great stuff.
Thanks

Hi Linda! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. You have one of the most inspiring blogs in the entire blogosphere.
See reviews in this video, I remembered the request of a friend who wants to write a story about lovers who are in distant and unfamiliar place through facebook ... Is love can happen even if not met?
Landed here and thanks for the 'shot' of positive!
