The big push begins, and my prayer is to maintain balance for the rest of April. Eating mindfully and scattering exercise throughout is my goal. I'm sharing the next two weeks with you so you will know why I'll be absentee and to help me "see" it and "dive in" mindfully~~

~ Monday I travel to a small community 1.5 hrs. away to interview participants in the Hispanic Entrepreneur Project

~ Tuesday a power point presentation in Advanced Spanish Biz Practices AND a complicated paper is due in Spanish Literature

~ Thursday a major homework assignment is due in Spanish Lit

~ Monday, Apr 23 I travel to another community 1+ hrs. away to interview participants in the Hispanic Entrepreneur Project

~ Thursday, Apr 26 university choir concert (with all pieces memorized)

~ Monday, Apr 30 Spanish Biz final + major research paper is due

~ Tuesday, May 1 Spanish Lit final

~ Wednesday, May 2 complete evaluation on Hispanic Project and depart on the 1000-mile solo road trip to Satchidananda Ashram in central Virginia for the month of May

May the Divine light our way~



GOD POURS LIGHT

God
pours light
into every cup,
quenching darkness.

The proudly pious
stuff their cups with parchment
and critique the taste of ink

while God pours light

and the trees lift their limbs
without worry of redemption,
every blossom a chalice.

Hafiz, seduce those withered souls
with words that wet their parched lips

as light
pours like rain
into every empty cup
set adrift on the Infinite Ocean.

~ Hafiz ~
(Interpretive version of Ghazal 11 by Jose Orez)
