Lockdown Nights in Oxford - A Poem by Rupert Spira
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- This is a poem written by Rupert after numerous late-night walks in Oxford during lockdown. During these walks, Rupert would often listen to poetry, music or readings from the world’s wisdom traditions. The poem chronicles these walks, and the poets, musicians, sages and mystics who accompanied him. In his own words, ‘It is a tour of some of the great minds in which I have immersed my own mind over these last few months, indeed my whole life. It’s a sort of homage and a song of gratitude to them’.

This was one of the most beautiful pieces of art Rupert had ever made. From words…to music…to…silence.
"I am"........., As I walked silently with Rupert and the sages of old.....!!!!!!!!
“Every night a different companion, but always the same Friend. Why go anywhere when the Beloved always comes to you?” Oh yes, that says it all.
Loved the Yeats quote ''There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven't yet met''. Beautiful poem Rupert.Thank you.
"I walked in silence with Francis. My silence is my question, I said. My silence is my answer, he replied." Thank you, Rupert. I'm happy to see you.
Perfect meeting for two introverts.
LOVE YOU RUPERT!!!!
And here I am ... walking with Rupert 😊❤️
Ohhh Rupert thank goodness for the oneness of you ♥️
So sweet. So gloriously sweet. Thank you Rupert.
Thank you Rupert 🙏🌟💐
EXTRAORDINARY! And there is nothing one can really add to Poet Spira's brilliant distillation of the many great spiritual leaders insights.
Thank you, Namaste
Just being the ecstatic tear rolling down my cheek.
Me too. Once you've tasted the divine, nothing else will do!
Thank you Rupert. 🙏🏼
✨Love✨Love✨Love✨🙏✨
Good for You Rupert..It Too is Beautiful like You ❤
So textured and deep, soothing and tender - If recited directly from memory, his gift is beyond extraordinary!
Indeed, that same thought came; truly remarkable, not only in that which you articulate Rupert, but the capacity to recall all of that, beyond extraordinary.
.....but then that is the thought that arises after nearly everything you articulate; wether it be something you quote, or something that is a livestream download.
Such gratitude to have come to know you, and the gift you articulate so clearly. 🙏 a.
I tremendously love you spira 💚💚💚💚
Brilliant on all levels. Inspiring. Touching. Illuminating. And to Theo Spearman ... magnificent staging, lighting, setting, mood ... the whole piece entrances.
I walked with Rupirt...and I kiss the ground he walked on...💫🦋💖
Rupert you are such a wonderful poet you capture the essence and beauty of all the Ancient mystics and sages you truly enlighten, inspire and lift my heart Thankyou 💗🙏💗
Thank you
If Rupert wasn't Rupert,
He would listen to himself.
Luckily, for me,
I get to be
Somebody else.
Are you?
@@parvaji Touché! 😄
💕
Dig it!
A love letter to our whole family. Our whole self.
💙
Thank you Rupert!
Beautiful!!!!!!
I no longer go to church; it's been almost a decade.
I'm watching this on a Sunday morning; This will do just fine!
Go back to the church ! You may not NEED it . But the church needs YOU!
Pure love! Swimming in companionship with OneSelf! Your poem is a celebration of this Play in the Divine!
I walked in friendship with Rupert,
“What lockdown?” He said in a whisper and a wry smile.
as long as you can walk in a lockdown yes..
Magnificent Rupert! You keep great company and therefore eclipse the 'loneliness' many of us feel cut off from Source..thank you for transporting us to Source with your 'friends' for 8 glorious minutes! Blessings!
Beautiful. Thank you.
"Know nothing. Be everything". Thank you Rupert.
I‘m deeply touched at the core of my being. Tears run down my face. So much gratitude! So much intensity the person can‘t withstand, must let go into the truth…
Beautiful!!!! Yeah!!!!
We are all God.
We are all the same one.
All we are love. ❤
What a rich celebration of manifestation and silence, of movement and rest. As I listened it seemed the fabric of spacetime was continually disintegrating and being skillfully rewoven in new configurations. Really transformative. Thank you, Rupert❣️
Simply beautiful… so beautiful! Loved it!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Beautiful 🙏
We part without parting,
We are all IT, we are it ALL ☀️☀️☀️
No curfew in Oxford?
Lucky people ❤️
This is my curfew poem
Curfew is an idea
About limits of time and space
Lack of freedom
Is an experience in consciousness
Experiencing lack
At the same time
Awareness can not be limited
So it is
For ever free
As a post I say with moist eyes, bravo, please pursue this gift Rupert!
So very beautiful, Rupert. Thank you so much!
Thank you Rupert🌹♥️
Thank you Rupert! SMILE❤
No words can explain what I'm feelings. Thank you so much 🙏
Sublime.
I just came home from my own walk where I let the sun caress me and was lucky to be with and pet a young calf for about 15 minutes, before mother called him with her. Such a beautiful poem to be welcomed home by! Thank you Rupert and Theo. 💛🙏🏼
Long after the foot steps fade, this poem that breaths and walks the dark streets of Oxford, holds our broken hearts.

Magical Rupert
You bring sunshine on a cloudy day,
indeed in the midst of the darkest night. 🙏

.....and inspiration, once again;
I’ll now include the possibility of an evening walk,
when the tendency might be to visit a book,
or go down the TH-cam, or Netflix tunnel.
....or the endless tunnel of the mind.
Hallelujah...Was drawn there, irresistibly.
