Poem from class: They Call to You to Sing by Hafiz
Stones are longing for what you know.
If they had the graceful movements
Of your feet and tongue,
They would not stop laughing
Between their ecstatic dance steps and unbroken praise.
Your heart beats inside a sacred drum,
Its skin is tanned and stretched—
Our skin is alive and stretched—
With the wild molecules of [our] Wondrous Existence.
Your mind and eyes are an immense silk cloth
Upon which all your thoughts and movements paint.
Your soul once sat on an easel on my knee.
For ages I have been sketching you
With myriad shapes of sound and light;
Now awake, dear pilgrim,
With your thousand swaying arms
That need to caress the Sky.
Now awake with your love for the Friend and Creation,
Help this Old Tavern Sweeper, Hafiz,
To celebrate.
No more enemies from this golden view—
All who have entered this holy mountain cave
Have dropped their shields and swords.
We all cook together around a fire
Our yearning music builds.
We share our tools and instruments and plates;
We are companions on this earth
As the sun and planets are in the sky.
We are all sentries at our sacred humble posts.
The stones and stars envy the movements
Of your legs and tongue
And call to you to sing on their behalf.
The atoms in your cells and limbs are full of wonderful talents;
They dance in the Hidden Choir [we] conduct.
Don’t sleep tonight, dear pilgrim,
So I can lead you on my white mare to [the] Summer House.
This love you now have for the Truth
Will never forsake you.
Your joys and sufferings on this arduous path
Are lifting your worn veil like a rising stage curtain
And will surely reveal your Magnificent Self
So that you can guide this world…
In the Hidden Choir
[Of the Divine] and [their] friends will forever
Conduct.

"Once you've decided as best as you can [on what you're going to do], you act, keeping in mind that you are not the actor. While you're acting, you don't second guess yourself; you don't waste your time wondering whether you made the right decision. You're done deciding--now you're acting: Be present with your actions. After you've finished, if you want to, you can sit back and reflect and say, "Was that the right choice?" That's different. But while you're doing it, do it fully. When you're making tea, make tea. When you're brushing your teeth, brush your teeth. When you're making love, make love. Big acts, small acts, whatever it is, be fully there with it. Stop ruining things for yourself with that self-conscious, judgmental holding back."
Ram Das, Paths to God

Poem to anchor the class:
“The light of consciousness illumines the world.
The world reflects this splendor.
Energy and matter, essence and manifestation,
Reveal each other to each other.
Individual soul and cosmic energy,
Pulsing heart and infinite awareness—
Are secret lovers, always merging in oneness.
When the secret slips out, there is laughter
And a flash of brilliance in the air.”
— The Radiance Sutras translation by Lorin Roche.

Poem from Radiance Sutras by Lorin Roche:
There is a holiness permeating everything.
The senses cannot grasp it and
Images cannot represent it.
It is totally free -
Free to appear as form,
Free to be beyond form.
Heart and body, and mind in unison,
Attend to the this unimaginable realm.
An awakening will be born in you
As you join with That,
Which you already are.
