“What is this precious love and laughter budding in our hearts?” says the Sufi poet Hafiz. “Listen … it is the glorious sound of a soul waking up!”

 Dear friends,

It’s been a beautiful weekend her in Atlanta, GA.  Sunshine and Spring like temperatures.

 I’m been at about half speed/energy due to being sick all week.  Glad to say I feel like I’m on the way to Healthy and Well!  

Friday night I stayed in (missed a great b-day party for a friend 🙁 ) so I could rest and recover.

Saturday we popped into a birthday party for a 6 year old friend of ours before heading out to a World Religion Day Celebration.  

The SoulPrint Players were invited to participate with our dear friend, Audrey Galex, and back up her story with a Gesture Choir.  

It was fun and educational and both Joe and I performed.   I continue to be amazed at the places that InterPlay takes me.

 We listened to some great music from members of the Bahai faith and a Muslim Sheik.  We saw a beautiful power point from a professor from Emory that was representing the Hinduism (I told him my Shiva Lingam story).

We laughed and listened and had a great time learning about different religions and identifying the connections and themes that run through them.  It was delightful.

Afterwards it was back home to rest and recover.

Today I went over and smudged a friend’s home in the Native American tradition.  More laughs and love.  

I also read a great blog entry this morning from Anthony Makar  minister of the UUCA –  Sacred laughter of the sufis.

I’m still thinking about my trip to prison on Friday and the amazing performances and music I heard there.

What have you been up to this weekend?

Wrapping you around with infinite love and laughter,

Christine
