Anam Cara - Finding a Song for the Heart plus articles and information on
Inspirational All this week I have been singing. This week I have been dancing
as well. This dancing is a great technique for allowing one to get out of one's
head and into the body. This is recreation. At this "place of the briars" there
is no one to be disturbed. Even the sheep dance and the cows look up from their
feeding. I turn up the volume on the tape deck and play Annie Lennox singing
"Why." This is a great song with a great question. It is a question about the
failure of love. This week I have had to walk into Dowra
village

one and one quarter miles from this cottage. When I am walking I have been
acpanied by George Harrison's beautiful song "While my guitar gently weeps." I
love this song. It is, for me, a song of deep passion. It is the song of a seer.
It is a song written and sung by one of great sensitivity. This is a real soul
song. It is not a sentimental love song. It cuts to the heart of love. In this
song George Harrison tells us "I look at you allsee the love there that's
sleeping." This is beautiful. To be able to see and know that in each and
everyone of us "love sleeps." This is a great knowing. For
some

this love is sleeping deeply. It sleeps because too often it has been wounded.
It has not been weled. Too often love and the expression of love has bee
associated with pain. Better then to sleep without the need for this experience
we call "love." Better not to venture into this place where the heart is
vulnerable. So we choose not to risk all for love. We live outside our essence.
Maybe we can settle for a little satisfaction. Let us not, however, venture into
the vulnerability of grace and joy. George Harrison sees "the love there that's
sleeping." A soul friend sees the "love there that's sleeping." A soul friend
laments this sleep. While love lies sleeping "a guitar gently weeps." This is
the gentleness of passion. The word "lament" es from the words

"to care." This wonderful and wonder filled man plays a lament for the distance
we are separate from love. What else to do? One has to lament. One has to enter
a heart of vulnerability that says, "I care." More than this one has to enter
the "will to care." One has to have courage to be this vulnerable. When you are
this vulnerable you discover you are the love that is always awake. It was only
waiting for you to look through the eyes of the heart. You awake from the sleep
of the ego. Until this time you are living in the dead of the past. You are
never graced the entry into the only time you are alive. This is the here and
now. This is the place of presence. George Harrison gives you a great help to e
awake to the love that sleeps within. He sings, "I look at the floor and see it
needs sweeping

poem. It es from a heart still weeping through his guitar. George Harrison and
his guitar are not separate. They are one body. They have e to be at-one-ment.
This guitar is a part of who he is. The voice of the Divine moves through him
and his body. Then as he says "My guitar gently weeps." This is a holy
instrument. This is a holy weeping. It is a lamenting for the unity of oneness
with "all that is." We are so often missing from life. We are too busy doing
"our life." We do not see what is needed in any moment. We do now know how to
look. We look at the floor and we might judge. We would judge that the floor is
dirty. We might think how little time we have to sweep the floor. We might think
how our partner and our children are slobs. We might think how the colour of the
floor has faded and maybe it is time to think about new kitchen tiles. As for
myself, when sweeping the floor, I might

"All those bloody dog hairs." Then those whose love never lies sleeping, go
quiet. Our two dogs go and slink into a safe place. This is a place where the
mad sweeping man might not find them. Sometimes the little dog will simply stand
there and look. She bees my little Zen master. I am her student. She reminds me
that I am shouting. She reminds me that I should practice what I sometimes
preach. She tells me,
"Tony

chill." Sweeping the floor with judgement is our norm. This is our mind. This is
my mind. This is who we think we are. We get so little experience of the real
love that lies beyond sleeping. Learn to look. Learn to just see. The floor
needs sweeping. That is all. This is love in action. Out of an awakened heart
action moves. It is transformative. It is aepting. Energy flows feely. There is
no attachment to results. Just sweep the floor. Just allow passion to arise. We
have lost faith in our passion and our experience of the flow of passion. Let
your heart lament the absence of presence. Share your love and while you are at
it drop the idea that it is "your love." Wake up for a moment and feel the love
sleeping in your soul. You are this. You are the love that is sleeping. It is
the flow of life moving through you. Love is not separate from you and will
never be separate from you. What needs sweeping is the dust of the mind. It
needs sweeping of all its attachments to all that it clings to. It clings to the
past and is forever thinking about the future. All this "thinking about" crushes
the heart. The heart is not felt. It is not trusted simply to be. You lose
heart. You lose the ability to sweep the floor. You lose the ability to lament
the loss of your birthright. You do not weep for the loss of soul. You do not
weep for the loss of joy and the non-entry of grace. You forgetT
