We are happy to be bringing our music to River Garden Yoga. Lots of friends, yogis, various seekers and new faces were there. Our guest percussionist Will Kemperman joined us, and he took these two photos, of the band and Christine. Here is a photo of him, too. River Garden is located in an old, historic building on West 7th in St. Paul and has good vibes!
Here are a couple lines from the great Bhakti poet, Kabir (15th century, India; version by R. Bly): “If you don’t break your ropes while you are still alive, Do you think ghosts will do it for you after? If you make love with the Divine now, In the next life, you will have the face of satisfied desire.”

A poem by Rumi: The Clear Bead at the Center
The Wild Moon Bhaktas at First Unitarian Society, July, 2015
changes everything
There are no edges to my loving now.
I’ve heard it said, there’s a window
that opens from one mind to another.
But if there is no wall
there is no window,
And if there is no window,
there is no need for a latch
There are no edges to my loving now.
The clear bead at the center
changes everything. – Rumi, translation by Bly & Coleman
