Reedbed Diaspora

From the author:

The reed flute represents the human being—cut from the primordial spiritual realm, from communion with our Source in the river of pure peace, light, and gnosis. After a time before time in the divine presence, witnessing and communing with the Ultimate Reality, we were brought out from the riverbed and placed in the here-below. We have come to this realm, according to the Sufis, to witness, remember and awaken to our original state. At the core of our beings we all yearn for this return. For we are the Reedbed Diaspora.

she said,

live this dream
like you are awake
and if you are not awake
know the Awake
is watching
you dream
