On A Day When The Wind Is Perfect

On a Day When the Wind is Perfect

Rumi

On a day 

when the wind is perfect, 

the sail just needs to open and the world is full of beauty.

Today is such a 

day.

My eyes are like the sun that makes promises:

the promise of life

that it always keeps

each morning.

The living heart gives to us as does that luminous sphere,

both caress the earth with great

tenderness.

There is a breeze that can enter the soul.

This love I know plays a drum.  Arms move around me;

who can contain their self before my beauty?

Peace is wonderful

but ecstatic dance is more fun, and less narcissistic;

gregarious He makes our lips.

On a day when the wind is perfect,

 the sail just needs to open

and love starts

Today is such

a day.

On a day when I have seemingly so much to do

On a day when I am frenzied,
 barely wanting to breathe for fear of it signifying time moving too quickly

On a day when doubt and anxiety are present 

On these days God is there, 
all around, 
attempting to tap you on the shoulder, 
gently grab your  attention

On these days God is present in the movement of our bodies

On these days God is present in the rising of the sun

in the laughter of a child

the smile of a stranger

the beauty of someone playing a distant piano

On these days there is magic, there is love, there is possibility

On these days there is God

Every present, loving, comforting God

help us to 

stop

take a breath

help us to be open 

like grand sails

so that we will fill

on those days when the wind is perfect 

on all days

amen
