TEA AND ZEN - THREADS

Threads is a contemplative audio offering from Meditation Sans Frontières, a sanctuary devoted to presence, remembrance, and the quiet radiance of being. These transmissions arise from lived experience — from grief that has softened into wisdom, from love that refuses to diminish, and from the sacred interior technologies of stillness and relational presence.

Don’t surrender your loneliness so quicklyLet it cut more deepLet it ferment and season youAs few humanOr even divine ingredients canSomething missing in my heart tonightHas made my eyes so softMy voiceSo tenderMy need of GodAbsolutelyClear.”Music AV.

LET ME NOT FORGET

Monday Sep 11, 2023

Monday Sep 11, 2023

If it is not my portion to meet thee in this lifethen let me ever feel that I have missed thy sight---let me not forget for a moment,let me carry the pangs of this sorrow in my dreamsand in my wakeful hours.As my days pass in the crowded market of this worldand my hands grow full with the daily profits,let me ever feel that I have gained nothing---let me not forget for a moment,let me carry the pangs of this sorrow in my dreamsand in my wakeful hours.When I sit by the roadside, tired and panting,when I spread my bed low in the dust,let me ever feel that the long journey is still before me---let me not forget a moment,let me carry the pangs of this sorrow in my dreamsand in my wakeful hours.When my rooms have been decked out and the flutes soundand the laughter there is loud,let me ever feel that I have not invited thee to my house---let me not forget for a moment,let me carry the pangs of this sorrow in my dreamsand in my wakeful hours.501 (C) Non Profit, Registered Charity Tax EIN 81-3411835 Get full access to Tea and Zen - Threads at teaandzen.substack.com/subscribe

“If I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another door- or i'll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present.”― Rabindranath Tagore“I have lived on the lip of insanity, wanting to know reasons, knocking on a door.  It opens. I've been knocking from the inside." - Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī                                       Get full access to Tea and Zen - Threads at teaandzen.substack.com/subscribe
