Our forum is…so..quiet today. Let’s read some spiritual poems, shall we? (They come with nice music, don’t worry. The first one, someone already read it for us. So just relax and listen. It’s a short version from T.S. Eliot's "Four Quartets" - I - "Burnt Norton" Yes, you can guess why I like this clip. clip by Will Duncan I Time present and time past Are both perhaps present in time future, And time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable. What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibility Only in a world of speculation. What might have been and what has been Point to one end, which is always present. Footfalls echo in the memory Down the passage which we did not take Towards the door we never opened Into the rose-garden. My words echo Thus, in your mind. But to what purpose Disturbing the dust on a bowl of rose-leaves I do not know. Other echoes Inhabit the garden. Shall we follow? Quick, said the bird, find them, find them, Round the corner. Through the first gate, Into our first world, shall we follow The deception of the thrush? Into our first world. There they were, dignified, invisible,.. … human kind Cannot bear very much reality.(Time past and time future What might have been and what has been Point to one end, which is always present.)Today I already posted about Rumi’s poems here is another one which is worth to read. I promise you. Sufi Music with quotes from Rumi. The song is Lévon Minassian and Armand Amar’s (The Tears of the River Arax)? Not so sure, anyway. lol. Clip by Stoned0651

Hi ace, Ah! I didn’t know. Really. Thanks. I was lucky to chose this clip that was reading by the writer himself. There were someone else reading this piece, too. But somehow I liked this one (including that chubby old man smoking pipe. ) [As for that music, I've just found that it was from Mevlana Gurdjieff's work, not Lévon Minassian & Armand Amar's The Tears of the River Arax. Sorry. I’m going the post the latter on our Music library today.] Hmm…though Eliot's writing sounded so serious but his voice not (sounded having a good-humored.) I read some of his works long time ago and liked him a lot. Now I wonder what would happen if I hear the voices of our friends here. I mean from my part because I only know everyone from my “reading” not “hearing.” I already heard kaz’s voice from her video, Meet Your Spirit Guide - Guided Meditation, that angel posted a while a go. And yes, kaz got British accent! lol. There was no British (or any) accent while I only "read" her post. And yes, her voice didn't sound so serious as her writing. Let me explain what I’m trying to say by this video: -from "The Chaos!" - A poem about English by Gerard N. Trenité - American English Pronunciation (This is short version, 112 only not 274 lines. Clip by TeacherMelanie My point is that, will I feel different if I really hear your (and our friends here) voices? There’s (a lot) of chance that I always misread/mispronounce (in my mind) what you wrote. Come on, say - said, pay - paid, laid but plaid? Gush, bush, steak, streak, break, bleak? Not to mention eye, I, ay, aye, whey, key, quay! Oh! my! How could I really know? Only to give it up!
