Two Poems by Rumi

by Robert Wilkinson

I felt that these two poems could sum up a lot of what many are going through now and in the near future, since the first deals with "unveiling" and the second is one of my long time favorites, being Rumi's comment on "spiritual windowshoppers." Many of you will note my affection for the last lines of that one. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do, since there is great wisdom to be found in every line. And of course, I'll be back with more Mercury Retrograde, Year of the Rat, and Spiritual Astrology articles as soon as I can catch up on my correspondence.

Google, Content Neutrality, and 2000 Miles in 8 Days

by Robert Wilkinson

If you’ve noticed I’ve been absent for a few days, well…. There are times in life when things crunch together, whether we want them to or not. I’ve lamented that my life sometimes seems to “interfere” with my work, which of course is a universal human situation. The past 3 weeks have required that I shelve writing while dealing with something disturbing which you need to know about. I’ll be composing articles on Mercury retrograde over the next few days, but for now, here’s the story of an odyssey.

featuring Robert Wilkinson

I thought it might be time to offer you a chance to relisten to my interview with my friend Michele Meiche at Self In Light. This was on her Satellite Radio show "Awakenings" netcast on the Cosmic Dimensions site on Nov 10-11, 2007. We covered a lot of ground, and there's a lot of food for thought. The link to the interview is below the fold.

Ozymandius

By one of my favorite poets, a timeless tale of human presumption, and a reminder that our grandest efforts may be subject to a different view by those who follow us. Something to ponder about our mortality as we travel through ... The Twilight Zone.

Using Time Wisely

I just saw this quote from fellow Aries Thomas Jefferson advising his daughter in 1787. It's great advice, since I also have absolutely found it true. It's the only way I get as much done as I do. From one of the greatest Spirits of history: "Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much can be done if we are always doing." I'll only add that "Doing" is just as important as "Being."

For Those Who Grieve the Loss of A Child

Long time readers of this community know that January 9 is one of the most sacred days in my entire year.

Today I'll offer you an open letter I wrote to someone having an extremely hard time due to the death of his child.
