Friendship Weekend

I spent some sacred time with two special friends over the past two days. She is just great company. We travelled by car to the Rumi event up North. It was so light and enjoyable, just what I needed after a hectic day. As with all of Rumi's messages, we heard what was needed to be heard just at the right time. Rumi only speaks to our hearts - he is the poet, mystic, teacher, healer -----and revered saint of the Sufi path.
My other friend, he is great company too. He travelled over to here from the other side of the country so that we could spend some time together. We had so much catching up to do, not having seen each other since the end of year summer retreat. The river walk in the late afternoon autumn sunshine was wonderful. My friend is such a gentle man. In the evening I cooked us some eastern dishes and he asked if it was ok to say 'grace' before we began our meal. We talked and listened and tired each other out. We laughed about life, drank some beer, talked about the heart and shared our most memorable moments of the past year on the course. What a weekend!
