Mirabai Ceiba: A Hundred Blessings



When this song (and album) was released in the Spring it had me swirling in delight and wonder for several weeks. The arrangement continues to fill my spirit. The video is a magical work of art. Many blessings to Rumi.
Love conquers all. Live mindfully in truth my friends.

A Hundred Blessings - Rumi
When Love comes suddenly and taps
on your window, run and let it in,
but first shut the door of your reason,
even the smallest hint chases love away,
like smoke that drowns the freshness
of the morning breeze.
To reason, Love can only say
the way is barred, you can't pass through,
but to the lover it offers a hundred blessings.
Before the mind decides to take a step,
Love has reached the seventh heaven.
Love has climbed the Holy Mountain.
I must stop this talk now and let
Love speak from its nest of silence.
