The Child Within

The Child Within Have you met the brat who wants it all? This spoiled child is a narcissistic egomaniac. He is the one who honked The moment the light turned green. She is the one who screamed at her child at Wally-world. The bratty child lives in me. This self centered brat is also in you. Do not worry, Dear Friend. This spoiled kid just needs more love To return to innocence. Every one either offers love Or Cries out for it. Shams says, “Come sit with me. I have plenty of Love to go around.” Sign in to see full entry.

Bliss Is Not a Four Letter Word

Bliss Is Not a Four Letter Word We say, ‘They are blissed out.’ Joy, ecstasy, euphoria, rapture, nirvana, delight; Each point us toward an experience of Creation’s Grace. Does anyone deserve this much joy? Can anyone lead me there? Rumi said this delight can be found Only when we discover the field ‘Beyond right and wrong’. When Shams looks into your eyes, Bliss just happens. Who told you Such extreme joy is wrong? Where did we learn that lie? Bliss is not a four letter word, That we should feel...

Safe in Mother's Arms

Safe in Mother's Arms when I was a child, I fell off the swing set, knocking all the wind from my lungs. I could not breathe. I ran all the way from the back yard Into my Mother’s arms, Still unable to breathe. She spoke calmly, Assuring me, Calming me, Until I could breathe again. We are living through a time That is knocking the wind out of us. We can barely breathe. Our panic is palpable. Where is our Mother, now? She is here, Caring for us as She has for millions of years. But, we have... Sign in to see full entry.

Silence Lifted Me

Silence Lifted Me There is a place in the breath centered bar Where stillness sings a symphony. Come, share a draft with me. A sip of this wine will transform your life. There is no cover charge, Save, your focus and attention. Stay and drink Until we are both drunk with love. Become contagious with compassion, Then kiss everyone who comes close. This psychotic world is ripe For a pandemic of the ecstatic touch Of Truth and Love. Shams says, “Raise a toast to this Blessing Breath.” Sign in to see full entry.

Powerful Addiction

Powerful Addiction Underneath our calm pretense, A cauldron of anxiety simmers. We were born condemned By the very humanity that defines us. Like denizens of Plato’s cave, We are mesmerized by the shadows Playing on the wall. Our dilemma is this: We are at once, the most noble of creatures, And, capable of the most heinous atrocities. Why? Highest love and basest hate Define our species. Hero’s, Dupes, or Villians; Who are we? The highest pinnacle of creation Or the destroyers of life itself?... Sign in to see full entry.

Bless Be the Tie that Binds

Grateful for You B

Grateful for You Beloved, I was smitten, ever the first time we spoke. Now, You fill my heart and Soul With sweet tasting Gratitude. Ya Sabur; My Patience has begun to bare fruit This longing for Thy Presence Hurts so very, very good. For I am seeing, daily, The ecsquisit moment When our eyes open completely. And for one brief, yet eternal moment, Our Darshan recalls the moment of Creation. So clear, the sight of our Twin Soul reunion. So blissfully precious, our entwining. Hands, caressing in...

Still Crazy After All These Years

Still Crazy After All These Years Listening to Simon and Garfunkel, I journey in my mind To Graceland and beyond. There must be fifty ways to leave your lover. The real question is Why would you want to leave your lover? The answer is simple: True love exposes our alienation, A separation so painful that we would run from The very Source of Love. And still, the Christ-child smiles. How can we leave this Love? It is the very center of us. Finally, all must surrender to the Light of Love. Shams... Sign in to see full entry.

I Surrender All

I Surrender All I surrender all notions of who I am. In giving up all, I have gained everything. Each breath I take, Each move I make, Becomes my sacrifice Of praise and thanksgiving. Friend, if you know a better way, Please tell me. One thing I know: We do not make it on our own. I did not make myself. I am certain, I was created by Love. Truth demands this surrender. Love ensures my safe return. One precious breath at a time, I give to Thee, Oh Spirit of Life-Eternal. Shams says, “All to... Sign in to see full entry.
