We've had several activities in the past few of weeks. Eric hosted the Street Zen Training last Sunday, and he also led another couple of guided Mindfulness and Metta sessions on the Sundays in between. He held these outdoors too, in the unexpected but very welcome sunshine we're having right now! On Tuesday this week we held another Rumi Reflection Group meeting in Sally's Secret Garden, taking a poem by Rumi and using it as a starting point for reflecting on our own lives. This week was our last one with the translation Love's Ripening by Helminski and Rizwani. We'll be moving on to Rumi: Bridge to the Soul by Coleman Barks next time. The plan is to wander through many different Rumi translations, hearing him in different voices, to encourage a variety in the way we reflect on our own life too.
From somewhere beyond myself
grace radiates into my heart.
Somewhere a Candle illumines this whole world.
Who am I? Just the candlestick holder.
Rumi
