Sunday Meditation Podcast ~ August 21 2022 Readings from Love Poems from GOD collected by Daniel Ladinsky

There are days and sometimes even weeks when I feel like "the world is too much with us"!  My mother taught English literature and loved to quote Shakespeare at relevant times.  For me, this was one of those weeks.  I had put too many items on my to-do list and some items took longer than I anticipated.  By the end of the week, I was frustrated and somewhat burned out.

This doesn't happen to me often, but when it does I do my best to take 1 or 2 days OFF, completely OFF, and just read or take long walks or sit by a stream and watch the water go by. 

This weekend I did spend some time outside, but it was humid and we did have some rain.  So, I read a lot and rested. One of my favorite books that lives by my bed is Love Poems from GOD, collected and arranged by Daniel Ladinsky.  These are lovely mystical poems written by a selection of mystics from different traditions and cultures. 

I read several for today.  I hope you enjoy these poems at least as much as I do.

Have a lovely week.  Take really good care of yourself.
