A Course In Love: Ever Present

Last night, tucking into bed, I wondered, "What am I going to post for this weeks A Course In Love?" 

After a lengthy span of neglect, I've re-established a morning practice of prayer and mediation. This morning after emerging from this divine space I decided to play Deva Premal's CD, The Essence, you know, it kinda keeps the energy going in the morning. Then I went back to last night's question, "What am I going to post for this weeks A Course In Love?"

The CD finished up, but tract 5, Shima Shima, kept going through my head. I took out the CD cover to see if there was a definition for the word Shima.

"The word Shima, translated from the language of the Hopi tribe of North America, means 'love'."

Before my delayed 'ah ha' moment could kick in, TinyCat took off with a chocolate wrapper which had a little piece of organic orange peel dark chocolate still in it. With it, she jumped up on the bed. Retrieving the wrapper (darn it saved the wrapped but the little piece of chocolate was cat slobbered and fur covered) I noticed written inside a little poem by Charles Swain ~

I Will Tell Thee What It Is To Love
by: Charle Swain

Love? I will tell thee what it is to love!
It is to build with human thoughts a shrine,
Where Hope sits brooding like a beauteous dove;
Where Time seems young, and Life a thing divine.
All tastes, all pleasures, all desires combine
To consecrate this sanctuary of bliss.
Above, the stars in cloudless beauty shine;
Around, the streams their flowery margins kiss;
And if there's heaven on earth, that heaven is surely this...

Well now, wonder no more about today's post, right!

Loving the synchronicity and serendipitous moments of this beautiful life!

Be open to receiving yours and share your divinely inspired love.

In Love & In Joy ~ Julia
