Oh my gosh you guys are awesomesauce with whipped cream! I went for a run in the rain and the wind and came back to Christmas morning on my blog with all these comments! *blows kisses*

And you picked out all my favorite lines too! I think the last two verses may need some more playing with but for now, good.

@Amy -- I can't rest without you knowing that the light and the crack and the bird on the wire are all images form L.C.'s songs... but maybe you know that and I suppose I made them mine ;)
@Zenatplay -- yeah, imagine LC bringing me tea? of course, it's all the way from china...
@victoria -- "the older I get" -- you make me grin!

Mmm. "...death by bursting heart is the only way to go..."

The older I get the truer that becomes. A beautiful poem, Heidi!

Ooh, Heidi! Most delicious.

"I made love to the world making love back to me
and then Leonard Cohen brought me my tea."

Love. It.

Heidi, I love this. It's gorgeous, not as in 'pretty' but as in 'mesmorizing', in the way a powerful storm that you're half afraid of and half entranced by is gorgeous.

My favorite line is: he was the light and the crack and a bird on a wire

Great decision to make that section a couplet. Thanks for letting me know this was here!

Annie comments on The Guest House (by Rumi)

This is the one of the poems that guides my life.I used to feel that it was rather easy to welcome each new guest as they arrived, but this past year I found out that there are indeed, aspects of my life I wanted to shut the door on. How could it be that at age 41 I had not met them all? I should have had at least an inkling of what was about to knock on my door.
It was a dark and fearful self that i could not seem to cheer up. Then I could not get it to leave. Now I know why people take medication. It is kind of like slipping something in the drink of the obnoxious guest who never leaves so they will sleep.

But this poem and the experiences of others that I have read help me to turn to this guest as if they have something important to teach me. I do feel that I am being cleared out for some new delight.

Blessings and love to all.
