Summary

"Today, like every other day,
we wake up empty and frightened.
Don’t open the door to the study and begin reading.
Take down a musical instrument.
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground."

-Rumi

0:00.0	Hello and welcome back to practicing human, the podcast where every day we're getting a little
0:05.1	better at life. I'm your host, Cory Muscara, and in today's episode we're going to talk about
0:11.6	the beauty we love. More to come on that in a moment. First, let's settle in together with this
0:17.6	hand of the Bells. Okay, so this episode will be based on a roomy poem that I like titled,
0:42.8	Let the Beauty We Love Be What We Do. Today, like every other day, we wake up empty and frightened.
0:53.3	Don't open the door to the study and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument. Let the beauty
1:01.2	we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground. I'll read this
1:11.6	one again and just let yourself receive it and see how it lands in your system and permeates
1:19.7	throughout your being in whatever way it's designed to at this point in your life. Today,
1:27.6	like every other day, we wake up empty and frightened. Don't open the door to the study and begin
1:36.0	reading. Take down a musical instrument. Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of
1:45.2	ways to kneel and kiss the ground. So, I'll mostly let this one be up for your interpretation and
1:57.1	integration. The one line, two lines that I'll comment on. Don't open the door to the study and
2:07.1	begin reading. This one I interpret as don't immediately go into distraction. These days,
2:18.4	we have more of a noble relationship to reading. Back then, there weren't phones and other forms
2:24.4	of distraction, but reading can still be a distraction. Still be a way we can get caught in our
2:29.6	heads potentially. So, think here the invitation is don't immediately just go into distraction.
2:39.3	Take down a musical instrument. Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of
2:45.3	ways to kneel and kiss the ground. I like that last line. Hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the
2:53.1	ground. Maybe what that's pointing to is that there are infinite number of ways that we can connect to
2:58.6	what is most sacred, but I'll let that one be up for for your interpretation. Thank you for your
3:06.6	practice. Hope this helps anchor you into your day-to-day. If you'd like more support and guidance,
