The  Sculptor's  Attitude...

 

I  woke up early  excited  over all I got to,

do before the clock strikes  midnight.

I  have responsibilities to fulfil  today.

Iam important.

My job  is to choose what kind of day

Iam  going  to have.

 

Today I can complain because the

weather is rainy or...

I can be thankful that the grass is

getting  watered  for free.

 

Today  I can feel  sad that I don't

have  more money or..

I  can be glad that my  finances encourage me  to plan my purchases  wisely and guide

me  away from waste.

 

Today I can grumble  about my

health or...

I can rejoice that Iam alive.

 

Today I can lament over all that my

parents didn't give me  when I  was

growing up  or...

I can feel grateful  that they allowed

me to be  born.

 

Today I can cry because roses have

thorns or...

I can celebrate  that thorns have roses.

 

Today  I can  mourn  my lack of

friend  or...

I can excitedly embark upon a quest

to didcover new relationships.

 

Today I can whine because I  have to

go  to work  or...

I can shout  for joy because I have a

job to go to.

 

Today I can complain because  I

have  to do housework  or...

I can  feel  honored because the

Lord has provided  shelter for my mind,

body and soul.

 

Today  stretches  ahead of me,

waiting to be shaped.

And here Iam, the sculptor who

gets to do the shaping.

 

What  today will be like is up to me.

I get to choose  what kind of day I will

have"

Have a  GREAT  DAY... unless you

have other plans.

 

So  My  Friends  Have a  Great  Day

The Great Sufi Poet of Herat, Jami

Despite being virtually unknown here in America, the outstanding 15th century Persian Sufi, Nuruddin Abdul Rahman Jami was a Sufi poet par excellence. Among the Persian speakers, Jami's following verses - offering glowing praises for Rumi and his magna obra, Masnavi Manavi or Rhyming Couplets of Profound Spiritual Meanings - are widely known and often recited: Maulana Rumi's Masnavi Manavi  is the Quran in Persian language. I'm not saying that his excellency,  Maulana Rumi is a Prophet, but he sure does have a Book.

Rumi and Confucius

"Despite the fact that Confucius and Rumi were born in different periods and places, both were born at a time of social upheaval and political turmoil. Consequently, both thinkers tried to provide the means for their people to overcome the times of difficulty, first by understanding, cultivating, and realizing their human potentialities, and then by transforming themselves, their families, and their societies. Interestingly, Rumi and Confucius share more in common than most people would think and their teachings are still meaningful and relevant to the modern world. The wisdom of Confucius and Rumi provides today�s readers with spiritual resources to overcome the challenges of our time and to build bridges of understanding and dialogue among different cultures and civilizations. This paper examines the core ideas of these two great thinkers and provides anthropocosmic insights into their ideas on nature, family and music."
