Awakening to Light

In a response to my last blog “Closer”, Bahareh Amidi wrote: 

“What a beautiful image, the spinning of the spinning top, such as the whirling of the Dervishes until they become one..... Until webecomeONE.”

Her mention of the dervishes immediately reminded me of another poem I wrote exactly two years and one day ago.  

Awakening

10.01.10

A new day dawns -

amidst the mysteries of technology.

Notice:

The digital tree

branching through the world

hears the gurgling stream

speak a language never heard before -

a chorus of interconnectedness

communicating in symbols, links and tweets.

See:

Among those

speaking the language of We,

are the twervishes ,

twirling and whirling on the deck

of the flagship Internet.

From many countries, faiths and worldviews,

in the twitterverse

they  #twance  -

communicating with joy

and a sense of participation

the dance of liberation

as consciousness becomes aware of itself.

Awaken:

Stillness is at the center of these tweets –

the axis of the twervish twance.

Speaking of me, speaking of you

but more than this

Singing of We

as a new days dawns -

amidst the mysteries of technology.

I thank Bahareh, @BaharehAmidi, known as the “American-Iranian poetess of light”, for the reminder, and to spread this light in the world, I include here a video of her recent wonderful poetry recital at the Pavilion in Downtown Dubai.

What a beautiful way to bring things together....
Starting with the date.... so telling so complete with zeroes and ones.... the purity of the number one and the invitation of the emptiness of one.
It would be on such a day that you would Notice, See and Awaken.
It is everyday when we reach a place like here today that we become one with light, there is no you or I. Thank you for being PRESENT in the Cell Empty of LIght and thank you for being my cell mate for the time.
