My feelings tonight, prior to our meditation, can not be explained with other words, but only with those of the great mystical sufi poet Jalalludin Rumi (Mevlana) in his poem:
SAY I AM YOU
I am dust particles in sunlight
I am the round Sun
To the bits of dust I say “Stay”
To the Sun - “Keep moving”
I am the morning mist
and the breathing of evening
I am wind in top of grove
And surf on the cliff
Mast…rudder
Helmsman and keel
I am the coral reef they founder on
I am tree
With a trained parrot in its branches
Silence Thought and Voice
The musical air coming through a flute
A spark of stone
A flickering metal
Both candle and moth crazy around it
Rose…and the nightengale
Lost in the fragrance
I am all orders in being
The circling galaxy
The evolutionary intelligence
The lift…and the falling away
What is and what isn`t
You who know Jelalludin
You the one in all
Say whom I am
Say I am You
