Day One of 30 Public Displays Of Gratitude

I am incredibly grateful for my Mom and Dad, Doris and Leonard Siegel, who despite the numerous, unspeakable losses they experience with old old age, continue to love and appreciate their lives and their loved ones deeply and openly. Thank you Mom and Dad.

Rumi For Robin

 

ZERO CIRCLE

Be helpless, dumbfounded,

Unable to say yes or no.

Then a stretcher will come from grace

to gather us up.

We are too dull-eyed to see that beauty.

If we say we can, we’re lying.

If we say No, we don’t see it,

That No will behead us

And shut tight our window onto spirit.

So let us rather not be sure of anything,

Beside ourselves, and only that, so

Miraculous beings come running to help.

Crazed, lying in a zero circle, mute,

We shall be saying finally,

With tremendous eloquence, Lead us.

When we have totally surrendered to that beauty,

We shall be a mighty kindness.
