Hello again!

Yesterday, I posted here about the profound experience of a soft gaze, a Peace Gaze. So moved was I by my recent experience of just such a gaze, only a few moments long, that I posted about it at my other blog, Longings Enchantments and Sacred Space.

Today, I wish to share with you another experience of joy and relating to the soul, aroused this time (as it has countless other times) by the rapture of Rumi’s soul:

No one knows
What makes the soul
Wake up so happy!
Maybe a dawn breeze
has blown the veil
from the face of God

Translated by Coleman Barks in The Soul of Rumi

Ah, the soul gazes into the face of god, into all that it is, into eternity itself! How could the soul be anything but joyous? Ecstatic? It re-cognizes its beginlessness and endlessness, its limitlessness, its sheer beauty, goodness and greatness – unenhanceable and incorruptible! How could it not feel rapture? Exquisite, unstoppable rapture?

God has revealed its face and the soul squeals in utter delight as it sees itself! At last!

In love, Lucy
