Rumi: Nightingale

In my vertigo, in my dizziness, in my drunken haze,
whirling and dancing like a spinning wheel,
I saw myself as the source of existence,
I was there at the beginning and I was the spirit of love.
  -- Rumi


Today is the last day of the Rumi/Barks Celebration ... I have enjoyed living with the wisdom of these two amazing men for the past 31 days.  I would like to especially thank YouTube for providing riches beyond imagining and Eryk Hanut for the inspiration provided each day from the incredible "The Rumi Card Book."  I hope you have enjoyed the series also.

Today's guidance from The Rumi Card Book:  
Category: Birth -- The fragrance, my friend, that floats to you this moment streams from the tent of the secrets of God.  Your life has reached a decisive and very positive turning point.
Category description from the book:  "Each moment of our lives is potentially a new birth, if our hearts are open.  Rumi always claimed that the wind of grace is always blowing from God, but that we are too rarely open to its fertile power.  Nevertheless, through Divine generosity, signs of new birth constantly dance in and out of our lives, inviting us to hope, creativity, passion, and praise!
