Make my life glad with nothing.
The rains sweep the sky from end to end. Jasmines in the wet untamable wind revel in their own perfume. The cloud-hidden stars thrill in secret. Let me fill to the full my heart with nothing but my own depth of joy.

~ RABINDRANATH TAGORE

Ah, today. Today the rain splashes in all over this green and rock-strewn, surf dashed island. Roses bloom in the dry clay cliffs. Charlie splashes in Roaring Brook, the orange-red hard skinned beach plums brighten the smoothed beach rocks. Rain, rain, and I walk over the rocks and swim in the roughed up Sound in the chill feeling fresh and washed clean. Today, refreshing conversations happened. The moment arrived and I was ready, I seized it, I encountered it, I risked it, the challenging conversation. I say what I have needed to say; I say what my heart says it has learned and my mind has opened and my confusion has cleared and I have let go of expectations. Misunderstandings are cleared up. Faults are forgiven. Conflict is resolved. A daughter getting married is a very big and wonderful thing. And how it happens is a wonderful sprint of spontaneity and freedom and mystery and trust. “Let me fill to the full my heart with nothing but my own depth of joy.”
