Where Is Home?
Lines from Hafiz:
Even angels fear that brand of madness that arrays itself against the world
and throws sharp stones and spears into the innocent and into one’s self.
O I know the way you can get
If you have not been out drinking Love…
I know how you can get if you have not had a drink from Love’s hands…
— Hafiz, 14th century Persian

I can look past most of your flaws.
Emotionally distant? Okay. Slight drinking
Problem? Fine. Killed a man once due to
Circumstances you can’t talk about?
Whatever. But saying “I seen,” instead of
“I saw,” is just something I won’t tolerate.
— Will Kolb

A community best serves itself when it truly serves the awakening of the unique story trying to come to life through each person born. — Michael Meade

And when you appear
All the rivers sound
In my body, bells
Shake the sky,
And a hymn fills the world.
