Medicine for the spirit, balm for the soul

[Larry Robinson]

Dear friends,
	We are certainly living through interesting times - “the times that try men’s souls”, in the words of Tom Paine. In these dark days we all need some of the comfort found in community. Rumi’s Caravan offers medicine for the spirit and balm for the soul. I iinvite and encourage you to join us this coming Saturday in Sebastopol. 
	I guarantee that you will come away uplifted and renewed. In fact, if I will personally reimburse your ticket costs if you don’t feel comforted and inspired.
Larry

Two Kinds of Intelligence

There are two kinds of intelligence: one acquired,
as a child in school memorizes facts and concepts
from books and from what the teacher says,
collecting information from the traditional sciences
as well as from the new sciences.

With such intelligence you rise in the world.
You get ranked ahead or behind others
in regard to your competence in retaining
information.  You stroll with this intelligence
in and out of fields of knowledge, getting always more
marks on your preserving tablets.

There is another kind of tablet,
one already completed and preserved inside you.
A spring overflowing its springbox.  A freshness
in the center of the chest.  This other intelligence
does not turn yellow or stagnate.  It's fluid,
and it doesn't move from outside to inside
through the conduits of plumbing-learning.

This second knowing is a fountainhead
from within you, moving out.
