"Be helpless, dumbfounded,
Unable to say yes or no.
Then a stretcher will come from grace
to gather us up.
We are too dull-eyed to see that beauty.
If we say we can, we're lying.
If we say No, we don't see it.
That No will behead us
And shut tight our window onto spirit.
So let us rather not be sure of anything,
Beside ourselves, and only that, so
Miraculous beings come running to help.
Crazed, lying in a zero circle, mute,
We shall be saying finally,
With tremendous eloquence, Lead us.
When we have totally surrendered to that beauty,
We shall be a mighty kindness."
- "Zero Circle" by Rumi.
I need to find a zero circle, my own zero circle. Rumi wrote this poem while running around a giant pillar. The words would spill out his mouth as he raced around the pillar and it was a scribe's job to collect them on paper. Rumi's unwritten poem.
"Drink up baby down
Mmm are you in or are you out?
Leave your things behind 'cause it's all going off without you
Excuse me, too busy writing your tradedy
These mishaps you bubble wrap
When you've no idea what you're like
So let go, jump in
Oh well whatcha waiting for?
It's alright 'cause there's beauty in the breakdown..."
- Let Go by Frou Frou
I need to let go. Not in the sense that the song sings about, but I need to let go of the past. I've always been horrible at letting go of past actions and memories. I'm too nostalgic for my own good.
Whenever I hear this song, I always want to free fall from an insane height. Just close my eyes and fall and hope someone's at the bottom to catch me.
I always dream of doing something grand, being someone great, but that's all it is - just a dream. I can't make them come true. And it's so frustratingly annoying.
Being stuck in the house is making my brain turn into mush. It's slowly decomposing. AIM can only do so much to relieve boredom.
VOLUNTEERING AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES ON MONDAY JUNE 20, 8:30 AM!
Anyone want to come? Maybe we can eat lunch at the restaurant (even if you can't make it at 8:30, we can meet at like 11:30 or noon).
Well, if you can't, we need to plan something so we can hang out!
