At our Sufi Saturday meeting this week, our honored elder Mansur blessed us with this lovely poem. With his permission, I share it with all of you.
Hu dat?
This is not my body.
Have I misplaced it?
These shoes do not fit!
This body no more belongs to me
than I belong to it.
I am as much influenced by
this body and
this mind and
these feelings and
this god-ideal
as they are influenced by me.
All are linked and serve together, with
support and suppleness in the mutual interactions.
We all dance.
In the dance I lose myself
And gain my Self.
Breath is the highway.
~ Mansur Rodney Kreps ~ 2020
