We asked Rumi what the theme of the first Emerald City Music Night of 2017 and Rumi said:

Sacred Blasphemy

Be off and know
That the way of lovers is opposite all other ways.
Lies from the Friend
Are better than truth and kindness from others.

For Him
The impossible is commonplace.
Punishment is reward,
Tyranny justice,
Slander is the highest praise.

His harshness is soft,
His blasphemy is sacred.
The blood that drips from the Beloved's thron
is sweeter than roses and basil.

When He's bitter
it's better than a candy shop
When He turns his head away
it's all hugs and kisses.
When He says, "By God, I've had enough of you"
it's like an eternal spring
flowing from the fountain of life.

A "No" from his lips is a thousand times "Yes."
On this selfess path
He acts like a stranger
yet He's your dearest friend

His infidelity is faith,
His stones are jewels,
His holding back is giving,
His ruthlessness mercy.

You may laugh at me and say,
"The path you're on is full of curves"
Yes -- for the curve of His eyebrow
I have traded my soul!

The curvy path has gotten me drunk,
I cannot say another word!
Carry on, my glorious heart,
finish the poem in silence.

O Shams, Lord of Tabriz,
What sweetness you pour upon me --
All I need do is open my mouth
and all your songs flow out.

Hello all! In case you're wondering what's going on with Emerald City Music Night... After February's show i got some technical advice regarding how to run sound and video for the show in a way the ensures better quality streaming. The advice was from a professional whose opinion i trust. Essentially, there's a requirement for some additional equipment for having a separate mixing and signal chain for the hangouts from the one for the performance. The latter gets fed into the hangout right at the end. It will be a few months before i can retool and make this work in a more satisfactory manner.
