That master weaver...

That master weaver, whose skills
    are beyond our knowing,
    has stretched his warp
      through the world.
He has fastened his loom
    between earth and sky,
   where the shuttlecocks are the sun
   and moon.
He fills the shuttle with the thread
   of easy spontaneity,
  and weaves and weaves
      an endless pattern.
But now, says Kabir, that weaver!
   He breaks apart his loom
  and tangles the thread
      in thread.
              
(Kabir pad 150)

Happy New Year 2020

Discipline is the workshop;
   Patience the goldsmith;
       the anvil, one's thinking;
          wisdom, the hammer;

Fear the bellows;
   Austerities, the fire;
      and feeling, the vessel
          where the deathless liquid is poured.

In such a true mint
   is forged the Word,
      and those on whom He looks
          do their rightful deeds.

Nanak says:
  the One who sees,
     sees.
        He observes

[Japji 38]
