River of Guidance

River of Guidance is a program offering short online experiential courses, to further deepen into the heart of our lineage wisdom and practice. The River of Guidance flowing through our silsila inspires us to look afresh at how we apply perennial wisdom to our life conditions and how we manifest our realization in service to the world we are part of.

Program Weavers for River of Guidance

 Where Everything is Music  

Don’t worry about saving these songs!

And if one of our instruments breaks,

it doesn’t matter

We have fallen into the place

where everything is music.

The strumming and the flute notes

rise into the atmosphere,

and even if the whole world’s harp

should burn up, there will still be

hidden instruments playing.

So the candle flickers and goes out.

We have a piece of flint, and a spark.

This singing art is sea foam.

The graceful movements come from a pearl

somewhere on the ocean floor.

Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge

of driftwood along the beach, wanting!

They derive

from a slow and powerful root

that we can’t see.

Stop the words now.

Open the window in the center of your chest,

and let the spirit fly in and out.

Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks
