Awakening to Light
Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 9:56AM In a response to my last blog “Closer”, Bahareh Amidi wrote:
“What a beautiful image, the spinning of the spinning top, such as the whirling of the Dervishes until they become one..... Until webecomeONE.”
Her mention of the dervishes immediately reminded me of another poem I wrote exactly two years and one day ago.
Awakening
10.01.10
A new day dawns -
amidst the mysteries of technology.
Notice:
The digital tree
branching through the world
hears the gurgling stream
speak a language never heard before -
a chorus of interconnectedness
communicating in symbols, links and tweets.
See:
Among those
speaking the language of We,
are the twervishes ,
twirling and whirling on the deck
of the flagship Internet.
From many countries, faiths and worldviews,
in the twitterverse
they #twance -
communicating with joy
and a sense of participation
the dance of liberation
as consciousness becomes aware of itself.
Awaken:
Stillness is at the center of these tweets –
the axis of the twervish twance.
Speaking of me, speaking of you
but more than this
Singing of We
as a new days dawns -
amidst the mysteries of technology.

I thank Bahareh, @BaharehAmidi, known as the “American-Iranian poetess of light”, for the reminder, and to spread this light in the world, I include here a video of her recent wonderful poetry recital at the Pavilion in Downtown Dubai.

What a beautiful way to bring things together....
Starting with the date.... so telling so complete with zeroes and ones.... the purity of the number one and the invitation of the emptiness of one.
It would be on such a day that you would Notice, See and Awaken.
It is everyday when we reach a place like here today that we become one with light, there is no you or I. Thank you for being PRESENT in the Cell Empty of LIght and thank you for being my cell mate for the time.
