The Iraq Solution © 2006 Noospherecomm

The Iraq Solution © 2006 Noospherecomm Introduction: What this Country Needs is a Gentle Revolution of the Heart Our government needs our help. It is lost in a quagmire of its own sophistication. The weight of its own web is blinding our leaders to obvious and simple Truth. We call ourselves a Christian Nation, but we operate with the vision and tools of Mammon. The Bible says you cannot serve both God and Mammon at the same time. It is time to choose, America. Whom will you serve? As for me and... Sign in to see full entry.

The Dervishes all came drunk

The Dervishes all came drunk Turning on the joy of their reunion. They sang their blessing Food flowed freely In thanksgiving toward the One. La illah ha ilallah [1] Ishk allah, mabood le’lah [2] So what!?! So this light Dances, smiling, from their eyes. It cannot be contained! The light fills the room, But It cannot be contained. It pours forth from window and door, Now spreading its blessing Like a blanket of love Across all time and space. © 2006 Shamsuddin [1] There is nothing, but God [2]... Sign in to see full entry.

Two Hearts Met While Minds Played

Two Hearts Met While Minds Played They met by chance Or So it appeared. When two hearts meet There is a knowing beyond word. Or Form. The light of hearts shining Is the strongest gravitational force In the Universe. So do not be staggered When playful debate Replaces assigned work. Like two old friends, Drunk on their common lot, We whiled away the afternoon. At last, we parted We hugged in a handshake Where only a hug would do. It was perfectedly, enough! © 2006 Shams-i-Heartsong Sign in to see full entry.

LOL

Sexual positions 18. Make your man feel bigger inside you by placing your legs over his shoulders when having sex in the missionary position. Doing this shortens your vaginal canal, so he'll feel much longer. Sign in to see full entry.

The only sight

The only vision I have is your sight The only thing I follow is your light. Everyone finds his repose in sleep, Sleep from my eyes has taken flight. جز نـقـش تو در نـظر نیامد ما را جز کوی تو رهـگذر نیامد ما را خواب ارچه خوش آمد همه را در عهدت حـقا کـه بـه چشم در نیامد ما را Thee Only The Only Life I have is Yours, Oh Holy Is, Your Name Fills my Heart Till it cracks under the strain And Your Wine pours out. © 2006 Shams-i-Heartsong Sign in to see full entry.

Someone Should Start Laughing - Hafiz

Someone Should Start Laughing I have a thousand brilliant lies For the question: How are you? I have a thousand brilliant lies For the question: What is God? If you think that the Truth can be known From words, If you think that the Sun and the Ocean Can pass through that tiny opening Called the mouth, O someone should start laughing! Someone should start wildly Laughing –Now! All Poems from: I Heard God Laughing: Renderings of Hafiz" The Miracle of Words This gift of words from Creator, How... Sign in to see full entry.

If you could get rid of yourself just once.... Rumi

If you could get rid of yourself just once, The secret of secrets Would open to you. The face of the unknown, Hidden beyond the universe Would appear on the Mirror of your perception. ~Rumi In childhood You learn as much as you can. In emerging adulthood You perfect what you learned. In adult maturity You must unlearn all! Sorry, it is the truth! © 2006 Shams Sign in to see full entry.

It is your turn now

It is your turn now It is your turn now, you waited, you were patient. The time has come, for us to polish you. We will transform your inner pearl into a house of fire. You're a gold mine. Did you know that, hidden in the dirt of the earth? It is your turn now, to be placed in fire. Let us cremate your impurities. -Rumi From: 'Hush Don't Say Anything to God: Passionate Poems of Rumi' Translated by Sharam Shiva All to Get You Here Sure, it hurt! But, it brought you here. Walking through fire,... Sign in to see full entry.

You Worry Too Much - Rumi

You Worry Too Much Oh soul, you worry too much. You say, I make you feel dizzy. Of a little headache then, why do you worry? You say, I am your antelope. Of seeing a lion here and there why do you worry? Oh soul, you worry too much. You say, I am your moon-faced beauty. Of the cycles of the moon and passing of the years, why do you worry? You say, I am your source of passion, I excite you. Of playing into the Devils hand, why do you worry? Oh soul, you worry too much. Look at yourself, what you... Sign in to see full entry.

My dear friend - Rumi

My dear friend My dear friend never lose hope when the Beloved sends you away. If you're abandoned if you're left hopeless tomorrow for sure you'll be called again. If the door is shut right in your face keep waiting with patience don't leave right away. Seeing your patience your love will soon summon you with grace raise you like a champion. And if all the roads end up in dead ends you'll be shown the secret paths no one will comprehend. The beloved I know will give with no qualms to a puny ant... Sign in to see full entry.

Namaste

Namaste our eyes met across the crowded room. lightning flashed Love's oneness song. our only response, a subtle smile. no, perhaps there was a slight nod of the head maybe even the thought, "I honor the god/dess within you" holy, the moment, holy, the light beaming from your eyes.

TS Eliot

Burnt Norton I Time present and time past Are both perhaps present in time future, And time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable. What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibility Only in a world of speculation. What might have been and what has been Point to one end, which is always present. Footfalls echo in the memory Down the passage which we did not take Towards the door we never opened Into the rose-garden. My words... Sign in to see full entry.

Be with those who help your being

Be with those who help your being Be with those who help your being. Don’t sit with indifferent people, whose breath comes cold out of their mouths. Not these visible forms, your work is deeper. A chunk of dirt thrown in the air breaks to pieces. If you don’t try to fly, and so break yourself apart, you will be broken open by death, when it’s too late for all you could become. Leaves get yellow. The tree puts out fresh roots and makes them green. Why are you so content with a love that turns you... Sign in to see full entry.
