Rabindra Nath Tagore translated the original poem in English and the same poem is all over the internet copied word to word. Do you know where is this original poem (if published at all)? Also, there are no sources cited for this poem or life history of Kabir. Where did you get this information? I am sure Kabir did not write this poem in English.

Often your poems have sparked smiles and warmth in these mortal strands..I thank you again. Here is it to you.. "To tame myself and be with the center, I spend my life from summer through winter, And once in there I woke up from this dream, Though summer lost in ignorance but winter came with a truthful beam! (BAK) Thank you Ivan…

I recently experienced this "continuous flow" that you speak of in your commentary during meditation as "The Rhythm." Like an ebb and flow movement, or the rising and falling of a wave - a "back and forth" movement of the Vastness Itself pulsing through time and space. As you say "a dance." And the recognition, the seeing, that we ARE the dance... Delightful! Interesting timing of this poem today.

I think I do like that--it sort of encompasses the opposite poles while still allowing for continuity. A year or so ago the idea of a spiral appealed to me. Of course, there is no real framework to Life. If there is, it is beyond our knowing. Still, I reject the idea of a birth to death linear Life. All evidence disputes it. My heart disputes it. Obviously, the wonderful Kabir disputes it as well. I have always liked the concept of the circle in describing Life, but a swing!

The last time I saw you You were as big as a galaxy. Actually you were a galaxy. I think you have lost a little weight. But then again, how much does Love weigh?
