Twigs and Stones

January 5, 2012 by glennstev

Twigs ~

Brown and white ~

Straight ~

Narrow ~

Against the ground ~

Pushing up stones ~

To lift and point ~

Twigs back ~

Up ~~

G. Stevens

Here is a new Jazz Folks piece called “Twigs and Stones“. Another tune preparing for the vesper service this coming March. https://jazzfolks.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/twigs-and-stones.mp3

Melvana Jelaluddin Rumi (1207-1273)

Translation by Coleman Bark

Today, like every other day,
we wake up empty and frightened.
Don’t open the door to the study and begin reading.
Take down a musical instrument.

Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.
