          but what
does not
shake us to
our
foundations
we
ourselves
the smallest part of us
must make itself known

Rumi, the great Sufi poet, spoke so well of heart work and true connexion. I leave this as a token of thanks for the truth that heartwork is a golden thread running through human nature, writing, behavior... and common, if we look closely, perhaps, to all cultures.

I am filled with you
Skin, blood, bone, brain and soul.
there's no room for trust, or lack of trust.
Nothing in this existence but that existence.
