The Road Home
Jelaluddin Rumi (1207-1273)
The ant hurries along a threshing floor
With its wheat grain, moving between huge stacks
Of wheat, not knowing the abundance all around. It thinks its one grain
Is all there is to love.
So we choose a tiny seed to be devoted to.
This body, one path or one teacher.
Look wider and farther.
The essence of every human being can see,
And what that essence-eye takes in,
The being becomes. Saturn. Solomon!
The ocean pours through a jar,
And you might say it swims inside
The fish!
This mystery gives peace to
Your longing, and makes the road home, home.
Ramadan begins tonight, so if you have Muslim friends, be sure any supper invitations are for after sundown.
A gentle reminder of how we do things: 🐱🐶🐦
Do not troll the diary. If you hate pootie diaries, leave now. No harm, no foul.
Please do share pics of your fur kids! If you have health/behavior issues with your pets, feel free to bring it to the community.
Pooties are cats; Woozles are dogs. Birds... are birds! Peeps are people.
Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. If you’re having “issues” with another Kossack, keep it “out there.” This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly.
There are some pics we never post: snakes, creepy crawlies, any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals. These are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated. If we alert you to it, please remember that we do have phobic peeps who react strongly to them. If you keep posting banned pics...well then...the Tigress will have to take matters in hand. Or, paw.
Shopping? We got you covered. Please share with other groups!
