Learning to Love, Learning to Dance

"What is love?"
I answered, "You will know when you become lost in  God." Love, is uncalculated affection. "God loves them" is the entire sum....
A nightingale went hence and returned: it became a falcon for hunting these spiritual truths.
May this falcon's resting place be the forearm of the King. May this gate to the truth be open to all people, unto everlasting....
Go seek at once the friend of God: when you have done so, God is your friend.
Are you less than the earth? When a plot of earth finds a friend, that is its springtime, and it gains a hundred thousand flowers. ..
If you are a ball in His polo-field, keep spinning round from the blows of His polo stick.
The ball becomes right and flawless, only at the time when it is made to dance by the stroke of the King's hand."

Rumi (Vol 2 selections from the introduction , and 8- 314)

commentary: Love is a mystery. And God's love is the greatest mystery of all. Having been "hit" with a great number of "blows"  today.. I certainly can understand what it feels like to "spin".  Someday this may all feel like a dance. But not yet.
