Thank you for the podcast & the poem by Rumi. I feel back on track, ready to observe the daily insanity and actually benefit by observing.

Greg, you're very welcome. In addition to Rumi, there's the great Sufi poet Hafiz. They are masters of the concise and the powerful spiritual image. Delighted to hear you "feel back on track." Feel free to write anytime. (Tom Russell)

In the matter of a mass spiritual awakening . . . Maybe it's wishful thinking, because it does feel this way, as spiritual choices are all around us now, more then ever. In reality, I find myself actually more confused and less focused.
