Into The Fire of Life

wake up it is tomorrow
light your soul on fire
taste the love life hands you

Finished reading Letters To A Young Poet - Rilke, Prayers for Strangers - River Jordan
Rilke so good for the soul, Jordan so good for the heart.

I have done a year or twos worth of reading in the past months. Still reading my Michael books (5 in progress - have about 12 Michael books, but not the one I want double ordered the same book by mistake instead of the one I want to be reading most), Poem Crazy, The Way.

Praying for Strangers my favorite feel good book for the year. She makes a resolution to prayer for a stranger everyday. It is not a religious book. It is a book of touching stories. It is about how the act of reaching out, stretching her introverted self changes her, and notating the hunger for simple in the world. Loved it, loved it, loved it.

Jumped right into another book The Kabbalah Code, hooked already. Non=fiction in story form. Thinking about the Hebrews letters being expression of the Creative Fire . . . fire seems to be my elemental path for now.

“Everything in the world has a hidden meaning. . . . Men, animals, trees, stars, they are all hieroglyphics. When you see them you do not understand them. You think they are really men, animals, trees, stars. It is only years later that you understand.”  - Nikos Kazantakis
