My Wife My

I love this picture.That is My's art work behind her. She is currently in massage school and studying Martial Arts and yoga. I am also in yoga classes now three days a week.

I love My's massage work. To receive her work on a regular basis is wonderful. What a pleasure it is to be there at the birth of a new healer and watch and feel her development.


Here is a Rumi poem. My gift to you.


I can't pretend to be a lion able to conquer the enemy
to master myself would be enough.
I am only the dust on my Lover's path and from dust
I will rise and turn into a flower.
Dark like the night I mourn and hold the pain
of love inside me.
But bright like the Moon I will rise from the darkness
for I have seen the source of light and being a child
whose tutor is love I will not grow up ignorant.
I will rise like a flame out of love's fire
and become infinite like love.
When I reach my end, play the music
that will lift me up to Spirit.
