March is going to be a big, fun month for me. My sister is being honored, along with her co-chairs, for her work on Relay for Life. I couldn't be more proud to go to that event and cheer her on. My son turns 17. Fun at LIVE, a massive PTA fundraiser I co-chair. St. Patrick's Day - need I say more? My other sister turns the big 5-0.
SPRING! New classes. New ideas. New beginnings.
I was introduced to the Sufi poet Rumi, thanks to Elizabeth Lesser's book, Broken Open. THIS quote brought me down to my knees. I had this plaque custom made after I read the book.

There is some kiss we want
with our whole lives,
the touch of spirit on the body.
Seawater begs the pearl
to break its shell.
And the lily, how passionately
it needs some wild darling.
At night, I open the window
and ask the moon to come
and press its face against mine.
Breathe into me.
Close the language-door
and open the love-window.
The moon won't use the door,
only the window.
with our whole lives,
the touch of spirit on the body.

and open the love-window.

My goal is to do a whole month of Rumi. Feel free to share YOUR favorite quote. In the comments. On the FB wall. Email or text me. Bat signal. Whatever works best. Here's to March. I welcome it.
