This moment

By Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi
(1207 – 1273)

English version by Coleman Barks

This moment
This LOVE
comes to rest in me,
many beings in one being
In one wheat-grain
a thousand sheaf stacks.

Inside the needle’s eye
a turning night of stars.
This moment —
This LOVE.

 

The heart of every human being requires peace. It doesn’t matter what their culture, religion or politics may be, everyone on the face of this earth wants to have peace.  Prem Rawat

Hope

 

Hope is the thing with feathers

by Emily Dickinson

 

Hope is the thing with feathers –
That perches in the soul –
And sings the tune without the words –
And never stops – at all –
And sweetest – in the Gale – is heard –
And sore must be the storm –
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm –
I’ve heard it in the chillest land –
And on the strangest Sea –
Yet – never – in Extremity,
It asked a crumb – of me.
