Repost of Episode 111

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

The Absolute works with nothing.
The workshop, the materials
are what does not exist.

Try and be a sheet of paper with nothing on it.
Be a spot of ground where nothing is growing,
where something might be planted,
a seed, possibly, from the Absolute.

Repost of Episode 109

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!

Repost of 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.

While we move 1,800 miles to our new home in Kansas, the Daily Lectio Divina podcast will be on hiatus.  Please enjoy a reposting of last year’s series on selections from Rumi’s poems. One of my favorites! We’ll resume brand new episodes on July 11th.

Repost of 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.
