In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re using a selection from Rumi’s poem “The New Rule.”

This that is tormented and very tired
tortured with restraints like a madman,
this heart.
Still you keep breaking the shell
to get the taste of its kernel!

Episode 107

In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re using a selection from Rumi’s poem “Special Plates.”

Notice how each particle moves.
Notice how everyone has just arrived here
from a journey.
Notice how each wants a different food.
Notice how the stars vanish as the sun comes up,
and how all streams stream toward the ocean.

Episode 106

In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re using a selection from Rumi’s poem “A Community of the Spirit.”

Be empty of worrying.
Think of who created thought!

Why do you stay in prison
when the door is so wide open?

Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking.
Live in silence.

Flow down and down in always
widening rings of being.
