MYSTICAL POEMS: “Spirit that makes connections” by Rainer Maria Rilke
“Spirit that makes connections” Bless the spirit that makes connections, for truly we live in what we imagine. Clocks move along side our real life with steps that are ever the same.

MYSTICAL POEMS: “Leave the familiar for a while” by Hafiz
Leave the familiar for a while.
Let your senses and bodies stretch out
Like a welcomed season
Onto the meadows and shores and hills.
Open up to the Roof.
