There are times in living that dearly demand huge attention to the Heart; that the heart yearns for Love is all the time, although one finds herself unconscious to this flow.
Incumbent upon us- is to be good, decent and honest stewards of the Heart- for the Heart is wise and yearns for so much more than the comfort foods, the TV shows, the fleeting erotic sexual encounters and the ego- driven status of the well endowed and well connected.
The heart demands a devotion to the practice of the pathway to love. Some call this God, however not in the conventional sense of it on the surface; i.e. Church dictum and rituals, but the deepening of the spirit by practices devoted to opening of the heart- in efforts release the ego.
Sufi dancing is a pathway. Recently, I turned on another to the Dancers of the Universal Peace over in Sunshine Canyon at Star house... I went dancing again last night at The Clayton School on MLK and Colorado Blvd. in Denver.
This connection to the divine energy is good and with practice the songs and dance steps will become routine. I love this energy― it has a quality to it that reminds me about being in the noisy solitude and becoming dumbfounded and rather inarticulate to explain what my senses are experiencing. A lot; like the falling in love feeling I suppose.
