Cosmic Friends


talking with my friend C yesterday reminded me of the space images that belong to all of us...here is one:


Description from the Hubble site:
A brilliant white core is encircled by thick dust lanes in this spiral galaxy, seen edge-on. The galaxy is 50,000 light-years across and 28 million light years from Earth.

The Music
(a poem by Rumi, the best selling poet in the USA)

For sixty years I have been forgetful,
every minute, but not for a second
has this flowing toward me stopped or slowed.
I deserve nothing.  Today I recognize
that I am the guest the mystics talk about.
I play this living music for my host.
Everything today is for the host.


 translation by Coleman Barks with John Moyne
from The Essential Rumi
