Through your love
existence and nonexistence merge.
All opposites unite.
All that is profane
becomes sacred again.
-Rumi

I hope you’ve enjoyed this “sacred” week.  Several years ago, a friend posted an “Ego List” on her page.  Ego does this, Ego does that.  It seemed a bit judgy to me, though I know she didn’t mean it that way.   I should probably say, it gave my inner critics lots of ammo.  *smirk*  I wondered to myself, “What is the opposite of ‘ego?” and came up with the phrase “sacred self.”  Then I made this video Ego vs. Sacred Self set to the music of Joe Satriani, one of my favorite musicians.  So, when my Cacophony Chorus started up, I put this on and calmed it right down.

 

Cheers to a beautiful weekend.

May you find some comfort here.”

And I can see the pain in you
And I can see the love in you
But fighting all the demons will take time
It will take time

And when you cry,
I’ll be there baby
Telling you you’re never nothing
Less than beautiful

Gems 5.204
Faith

“Faith is believing in something when common sense tells you not to.” ―Doris Walker, Miracle on 34th Street

Gems 5.205
Hope

“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.” ―Robert Fulghum

Gems 5.206
Joy

“I don’t think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains.” ―Anne Frank

Gems 5.207
Peace

“Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in thee.”
-Augustine of Hippo

Gems 5.208
Love

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.”

“When I say it’s you I like, I’m talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.” ―Fred Rogers

This is my 700th post.  I’m glad it’s about love and from one of Neil Gaiman’s points of view. That’s the beauty of being a writer.  You get to have, with absolute passion and conviction, so many different points of view — one or more for each character created.   I hope to have 700 or more posts (and at least that many points of view).  *smile*

Cheers to a great weekend!
