And to Allen, our friend from Ukraine; may he know how much we are thinking of him, his family, and all those in his country who continue to remind us of the highest values and valor in this life.

Aho! Blessings to all humanity. As Jelalludin Rumi wrote:

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.

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.

Don’t go back to sleep.

You must ask for what you really want.

Don’t go back to sleep.

People are going back and forth across the doorsill

where the two worlds touch.

The door is round and open.

Don’t go back to sleep.

Happy Easter from the West of Ireland.
