BEAUTIFUL REMINDER # Don't Ignore Your DIGNITY and PURPOSE # (Video)

Very nice RoXY!

5 *'s!

A lot of good message/meaning in there... :)

5 stars.

Rumi's insight and wisdom are timeless.

Duncan could speak gibberish and it would still captivate me.

Very articulate and a master of expression.

Thank You, Roxy.

WOW, Brilliant! Meat for the soul.

Nice

5 Stars

THE GUEST HOUSE

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.

Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

-- Jelaluddin Rumi,
translation by Coleman Barks

I say thank you my friend - this truth you give me is like freedom to me...

Beautiful!

Is the name of your dog perhaps... Roxy?

It would be a good name for a dog because, as you might know already, a dog's name should end with a, e, i, o, u, or y.

I used to have a dog myself, a Doberman Pincher called Sira.

Thank you!

her name is Rumi! She is gorgeous and doesnt mind being named after a male poet/philosopher one bit! :)

Cool name!

Don't Ignore Your Dignity and Purpose
A Metaphorical Rumi Poem spoken by Britain's best reciter - Duncan Mackintosh

"When good information comes -
you know it right away
it is medicine to you -
it brings colour to your face,
strength to your body,
your eyes brighten,
your feet get lively and agile
You say thank you my friend -
this truth you give me
is like freedom to me
Please go in front
and you be the leader
You have the scent of my camel
better than I do...

But the imitator
does not feel the intensity of these clues."

I know... :)

dignity is a contrived value not intrinsic .measure of a man is how he obtains liberation from self .our sense of self will shift from our physical identity to a universal one

Never mind all that. Why did you choose the name Roxy? Does it have some connection with the group Roxy Music? Just asking cos they are my fave group.

No, it's the name of the coolest club ever in Amsterdam - after it burned down to the ground club life in A'dam has never been the same

But Roxy Music was just as special...
