A bit of business and then some beauty.
------------------------------------This week, I added a tag cloud to my sidebar. Over the next few days I'm going to be working on tagging and recategorizing my posts to optimize searching and to hopeful make them more useful. This shouldn't effect my web readers, but my feed subscribers may get some reposts. Sorry for any inconvenience, but I think it will make the the overall site much stronger!
------------------------------------I discovered a new mystic this week: Fakhruddin 'Iraqi, a 13th century Sufi from Persia. His book is called Divine Flashes. I love this name because this how making art occurs for me, as a Divine flash. I'll have much more once I finish reading. But let me share this, a beautiful quote on the idea that there is nothing but God (I know I need to find more mystics who recognize the feminine aspect of the Divine!):
Pardon me this innovation, revealing such secrets. Remember: He Himself spoke TruthHe Himself listened.He Himself showed Himself
He Himself saw.
Junyard said once, "For thirty years now I've been conversing with God, yet people seem to think I'm talking to them!" Through the ears of Moses, He heard Himself speak with the flame-tongue of the Bush:
He speaks
He listens
you and I
but a pretext.
