THE MEETING PLACE

"Beyond right and wrong, there is a field. I will meet you there."— Rumi

That one true place where meeting is truly possible! I don’t know if it can be expressed more beautifully. Otherwise, we are light-years apart in different dimensions of the same space and time—we speak the same language but do not understand one another. Do we even understand ourselves? That too is a mystery. In this world, where within and without we are constantly faced with light and dark, right and wrong, good and evil—how can these meetings truly happen?

These meetings will not be granted to crowds but to rare individuals—yet individuals who are nourished by the collective, and in turn, nourish it. So, how will it happen?

By taking small pauses when we feel overwhelmed, by returning home and nourishing ourselves from the source, by becoming unbalanced to find balance, by going mad to find wisdom, by losing the path to walk it again, by hurting the ones we love sometimes—yes, all of these are part of the human inheritance, our stories… By remembering that “every saint has a past and every sinner has a future”, that today’s oppressed may be tomorrow’s oppressor, that yesterday’s executioner may be tomorrow’s victim… by realizing that everything transforms into its opposite, that only love is eternal, and love is understanding—and we must walk with that understanding.

Peace is this effortless.Essence is this sincere.Love is this simple.The sacred is this freely given.Joy is this natural.Hope is always there.While springs and celebrations are so much with us...

Each country, each geography, each era, each form, each dimension has its own weight, its own hardship, its own burden... These too are guides—if we accept and let them lead us to our destination.

Life, honor, and effort—above all. Time—despite everything. Light—with everything. You, the other, and all the reflections and radiance from our chosen ones—Remember: you are part of a precious whole that exists beyond right and wrong. Take a breath. Look beyond the story. Feel. And continue from there. Don’t be afraid. This world will keep turning, one way or another—but the brew within you is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Savor it, with all its colors.

May your Night of Power be accepted, May your holidays arrive in an instant, May your springs be blessed, May your meetings be possible and everlasting.
