Song Of The Reed
…I want a heart that is torn open with longing
so that I might share the pain of this love
Whoever has been parted from his source
longs to return to that state of union. Rumi

Sept 8th Performance with Kaoru and Helen
Give Me Ecstasy
Give me ecstacy, give me naked wonder, O my Creator!
Give birth to the Beloved in me, and let this Lover die!
let a thousand wranglings desires become one Love!
This ring of desire I wear is the seal of Solomon.
I know I have it only on loan, so I never take it off….
Rumi
Fringe
I Stand Alone
A Falcon hovers at the edge of the sky.
Two gulls drift slowly up the river.Vulnerable while they ride the wind,
they coast and glide with ease.Dew is heavy on the grass below,
the spider’s web is ready.Heaven’s ways include the human:
among the sorrows, I stand alone.
Tu Fu 712-770

Training Notes
The human shape is a ghost
made of distraction and pain.
Sometimes pure light, sometimes cruel,
trying wildly to open,
this image tightly held within itself.
FRINGE BABY FRINGE
Higher Ground part of the Seattle Fringe Festival. We will perform at West Hall on Capital Hill Thurs Sept 20th 6pm, Fri And Sat 7:30pm, Sunday 5pm. Ya all come!
Heart’s mirror clear reflects beyond fetter.
The void stripped clean, innumerable worlds.
All things in their majesty, shadowed and seen there.
The single gleaming jewel: not witin, not without.
Hsuan Chueh (665-713)
