May 8, 2023 Meditations For The Metro

Today’s meditation comes from The Book Of Ecclesiastes in The Old Testament and from the writings of Rumi, with music by Falls.

Passage: The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises. The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course. All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again. —Ecclesiastes 1:6-7

Perspective: Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralyzed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds' wings. ―Rumi

Music: “Every Now And Zen” by Falls

Narrator: Ryan Phipps
