Image by Rassouli Come close to me, I will whisper in your ear Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes around in another form. For there is so much More to this life Than you now understand Observe the wonders as they occur around you Don’t claim them. Feel the artistry moving through, and be silent [...]

Quietness ~ Rumi
Posted in Inspiration, Mindfulness, Poetry, Rumi, Spirituality, tagged Blessed, Inspire, Love, Poems, Youtube on July 1, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Today I’ve been asking myself this question: What would wholeness say? I love asking the question; it seems to prompt a feeling of slipping my arms into the sleeves and cloak of wholeness. Wholeness spoke quietly and tenderly just a few things to me – You are a blessed being. You are perfect just as [...]

Image Locale I saw Alice in Wonderland this past weekend and just loved it. I decided I rather fancy the idea of thinking of 6 impossible things before breakfast. It doesn’t have to be before breakfast though it could be before bed. I do love having vivid dreams and I go to some pretty outlandish [...]

Image Locale Who can find a trace of you? There isn’t even a bit of dust from your track. Who could find your home? You have no home. How can I praise you? What can I say about you? Foam is the only form in the sea of meaning. A great, unseen town lies just [...]
I’m the slave of the moon

Art by Rassouli I’m the slave of the Moon. Talk of nothing but moon, or brightness and sweetness. Other than that, say nothing. Don’t tell of suffering, talk of nothing but blessings. If you know nothing about them, no matter. Say nothing. Last night I went wild. Love saw me and said: I’m here. Don’t [...]
