Productive Day

If you have read some of my previous work, you will know that while I consider myself a spiritual person, I do not consider myself a religious person and am not so sure I believe in a God. I have read, studied, discussed and continue my "search for God." The first breakthrough was when I realized  that there could be a "spiritual god", up until then only thinking in terms of a "religious god." But that is a different story. Meanwhile I would like to share a number of "Love Poems from God" edited by Daniel Ladinsky 2002.Only a few of the poems spoke to me and I continue to contemplate them and document them here for you as well as for my future study.

Mira (1498-1550) is the4 most renowned woman poet saint of INdia and her songs are sung by Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs alike.

I'D CALL THAT

Before I

fell asleep last night

I laid awake and wondered:

What did I achieve this day

just roaming around calling His name?

So I brought before my mind's eye all who I had been kind to,

and it turned out to be

all things that

I had

seen.

I'd call that -- one hell of a

productive

day!
