Socrates Goes Hip-Hop, With Backup From the R & H Blues Band

 Well, guess I will take compliments wherever I can get them, and this one is unique…

Someone recently sent me a message about my blog post: (https://www.danielladinsky.com/blog/swrzrzc6xtwfr2ad87ggys2mf4hkpp) and said:

“Thanks for some Socrates goes hip-hop, with some backup from the R & H Blues Band*.” 

Well, what can I say? I guess some of those living in Iceland (with clearer skies) can zero in easier on UFOs and angels beaming down manna.

*R & H Blues Band: seems the theology student was a fan of some of my Rumi & Hafiz. And had just discovered my blogs.

And in just reading that blog again— a big thanks to you, Jon. Yeah, I like that one too! And just trying to help the munchkins, and have some fun in this world like Hafiz talks about in these lines in that “R & H Blues Band” you mentioned. These lines seem to tie all here together (and with the above blog link if read) in such an insightful, poetic and lofty way:

          The moons and the mountains are atoms on

          a petal of the eternal unfolding Rose in the 

          mind of Infinite Existence & Knowledge.

         Discovering the earth was a sacred drum, 

         when my feet are upon her holy body, what

         more respect can I then show, but to dance.

        —Hafiz

And an intriguing few words—line— of Hafiz reads:

               I let beauty sculpt me into the Sun!

Or that surely could be rendered as:

              I let love sculpt me back into God.

O Hafiz, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe seemed so right on when he said of you: “Hafiz has no peer!” 

So indeed what a R & H Blues Band.... you guys make, and are helping the world to rock. And as I have been saying at times lately: Rumi and Hafiz are Carl Jung times ten gone poet. Hey, hey cash in there! Unfurl your wings, and know…

    “What more respect can we show— then to dance!”

Then for you to know happiness.
