rumi on 'quietness'

inside your new love, die
Your way begins on the other side
Become the sky
Take an ax to the prison wall.
escape. walk out
like someone suddenly born into colour
Do it now.
You're covered with thick cloud.
Slide out the side. Die,

and be quiet.

Quietness is the surest sign that you've died.
Your old life was a frantic running from silence.

the speechless full moon comes out now.

- Rumi on Quietness

The moon won't use a door, only a window.

yeah - since I did my taxes I'm totally baroque....

Off to Philharmonia Baroque's presentation of Beethoven's "Emperor" Piano Concerto #5.

I have great seats thanks to the station - I'm taking along as my cohort for the evening - Ranger Extraordinaire Mr. Poelzl of whiskerfish/f8n_begorra fame. (wink)

Here is a Youtube of a performance by Valentina Lisitsa so you can share in the Beethoven-style love I'll be soaking in tonight.

I am blessed to live in such a classical arts-rich city!

Woof!
