Love’s secret is always lifting
its head out from under the covers,
“Here I am!”
~Rumi, as interpreted by Coleman Barks
Morning’s first light
kisses the day to wakefulness
and announces Yahweh’s presence.
See it!
Feel it!
Taste it!
Touch it!
Hear the secrets
the dawn has to tell!
~Natalie Scarberry
The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy. ~Psalm 65:8 ✝

well, we must consider the source—and since you yourself are the originator of the exotic and wonderful—I would expect your words to be nothing less 🙂

I could close my eyes and let someone read this to me, and it would be beautiful. Yet the way you put it together for our eyes to behold it. It adds so many levels to it. 🙂

Reblogged this on Teacher as Transformer and commented:
Emmanuel Levinas was a Talmudic scholar who suggested the ethical response when we are called is Here I Am. He said that was actually a question. When we respond to the Other in that manner, we are asking what can I do for you. Seeing the two Rumi quotes reminded me of that ethical response that is a question.
