Holy Smokes

Holy Smokes Carefully collected, The herbs that make up this Kinnicknik Are perfect to lift our prayer to honor Thee. We ask only what honors Thy Holy Will. We join our hearts with the heart of all. Only in this unity, can truth emerge From the human psychosis. The moment we became conscious of choice, We knew good and evil. by trial and error, For thousands of years, We have sought our highest ideals, The instincts of the way of love.

Bad Habit

Bad Habit It clings and brings untold shame. How else can I explain Repeating this behavior Which I know is morally corrupt? Like Paul, I cry out, ”Who will deliver me from this body of sin is death?” The Universe responds, “You are forgiven.” My assignment, to forgive myself. I resolve to live forward in integrity. Peace returns to my soul. I begin to sing, I’m sorry, please forgive me, For whatever is going on inside me That manifests as pride. Shams says, “Creator’s Grace is Infinite.” Share...

Instant Karma

Instant Karma One who can live up to one’s ideal is the ruler of life; one who cannot live up to it is life’s slave. – Inayat Khan, The Bowl of Saki Commentary I failed myself, Dear Lord, Choosing my convenience over honor. I betrayed your Trust And the trust of a beloved friend. Guilt and shame have become my Masters. Who will save me from this prison of sin and death? Jesus said that if you know someone has something against you, Leave your offerings at the altar, And go be reconciled. I say... Sign in to see full entry.

Ashes

Ashes Place these ashes on your forhead. Remember for forty days, Repent for forty nights. Surrender not only your questionable habit. Give up your entire heart. Our savior was tempted, He overcame, that we might live Above all fear and greed And broken desire. The moon proclaims another Season of repentance’s sacrifice. Oh Dear Friend, remember Our God/dess requires Mercy, not sacrifice. To feed the hungry, To bind up those with broken hearts; This is acceptable to our Holy Creator. Shams says,...

Hu Hu Habibi

Breeze Before Dawn

Breeze Before Dawn I Can Hear the breeze in the trees across the street. The Buddhist prayer flags across my front porch dance with this invisible partner. As if cutting in, the now silent breeze kisses my face. Pilgrim, have you heard of the breeze at dawn? This is the night breeze before dawn. Its secrets are deeper yet,.... and quieter. I, in my rocker, move to its silent beat. I have fallen to the place where resting in my Creator, makes all circumstances the same. They are just my present... Sign in to see full entry.

Deep Desire

Deep Desire Your deepest desires Are not of you. Do not let the accusing one Tell you anything else. You carry these desires, As a pilgrim on a quest. No map is needed; No GPS. GOD DESS has you, front and back. Let the Will of Creator Be our desire. Shams says, “Celebrate Your hungers. It Is Holy." Sign in to see full entry.

Heart Tickle

Heart Tickle You tickle my heart, Oh Holy, Beloved Friend and Guide. You comfort my soul, Guru Dev. When Life closes in. When my choices are unskilled; When my path pinches; I turn my gaze inward, drop my eyes to feel my heart. Oh Sweet Jesus, Was it a similar inner touch that sustained you on your mission to Golgatha? As subtle as it is, sweet, This tender tickle, Opens my heart. I roll over, Like a puppy, prostrate before you, Hoping for a belly rub. Dear friend, if you don’t know this tickle...

Listen … If You Want to Know a Secret

Listen … If You Want to Know a Secret Why is listening prayer so hard for us Humans? Bringing our ‘stuff’ before The Almighty is easy. Waiting in silence for a Response appears not. Shams has a thought, “Turn to your breath awareness. Follow is in; See where it travels; Direct its outflow.” Beloved, when you can do that, You will find a voice which is ceaseless And eternally wise. Have a fresh drink of Praha. Drop this over-worried existence For the peaceful Blessings of your Inner guide. S/He... Sign in to see full entry.

Nightly Practices

Nightly Practices It happened suddenly, Without warning. Morning practices had been blessing My days for some time. Then one night as I watched the NEWS, The wordless voice spoke, “You need to add some practices each night Before you sleep.” And so it has begun. A review of the day past. A lifting of concerns and confusions In prayer. Shams says, “What took you so long?” Sign in to see full entry.
