All I Ask

All I Ask All I ask is that you remember me as loving you. All I ask is that you remember where you came from and Whose you are. All I ask is that the Universe bless all. All I ask is for enough to eat and enough to share. All I ask is to remember You, Beloved in every moment. All I ask is....

Poetry

Poetry To capture a moment in a tapestry of woven words it the glory of poetic endeavor. The delight, the horror, the joy, the sorrow, all frozen in this portrait of sound and silence. A sound, an image, a feeling, a thought, perfectly portayed in a word or phrase. All of this is the joy of a good poem. Sign in to see full entry.

Puppy Love

Puppy Love There, I said it, “I Love You!” I stroked her head as I spoke. My heart was overwhelmed with sensuous, accepting, flowing love. These are the moments that speak loudly of your essential nature, the Nature of God, and the Nature of Life. Puppy love, the innocent offering of brand new love. Innocent, full, freely given, what a blessing! Shams says, “Why not offer everyone your Puppy Love.” Sign in to see full entry.

Orb

Orb The rains fell gentle at first, then in a deluge. How like your Love, Dearest. As my heart opens, You pour forth an abundance of blessing. I do not know what to say, so in thankful silence I sit. Suddenly I am taken with the word, 'orb'. Orb, orb, ORB. I see a silver-blue orb sitting in a garden. On this breath, it enters my heart. I become one with the power of the silver-blue orb. Shams says, "Watch for the orbs on your path." Sign in to see full entry.

The Fence Came Down

The Fence Came Down HU COULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THE DAY WOULD BEGIN LIKE THIS..? In thirty years, nothing like this had ever happened. Now, in a moment, her privacy fence was gone, mown down by a driver who lost control of his jeep. Hu's blessing, in disguise? Or, the devil's mischief? Or, both? All I know is that the broken four-by-fours. will now be used for a foundation repair on the workshed whose foundation was rotted by poor drainage and years of neglect. Our plans are shifted often by life's... Sign in to see full entry.

Balanced Breath

Balanced Breath Balance comes on many levels and in many forms. There is the balance between work and play; Between thinking and feeling; Between action and repose. There is even a balance between life and what we call death. The Buddhists call this path of balance the middle way. Of course, there is the balance we must not lose, lest we fall. Paradoxically, there is a balance between balanced and unbalanced. Shams says, “To live a balanced life, cultivate a balanced breath.” Sign in to see full entry.

Deadly Words

Deadly Words Gossip kills. Words, spoken ill of another, poison both speaker and hearer. Friend, when we find ourselves caught in a web of this ugly utterance, Love demands that we walk away, say something to end such blaspheming, or listen in silence with forgiving compassion. God/dess forbid that you start such tales. Let the one without sin, be the first to cast a wanton word against another. Portraying another as lesser can never make us greater. Shams says, "Dear friends, reverence one... Sign in to see full entry.

The News Blues

The News Blues Watching the News has thrown me into a morass of blues. Who are we? Are we not, still, our brothers' keeper? Will fear rule the day? Or will the light of love prevail? Who directs our News views? What narrative will we choose? When a President lies to create fake News, puts down Muslims, gays, and darkened hues; we're all in trouble. Climate change is true dispite what fear based folks would do. Shams says, "Relax, its all hot air." Sign in to see full entry.

The Joy of Touching

The Joy of Touching To touch softly, your skin is bliss. To taste and smell you, is like coming home to a warm house. When you are absent, I ache. When you are here, I ache. Praise the Only One for these two infirmities. I gaze at my blue eyes in a mirror and suddenly, your face appears. You have left me, a wreck. The sands blow freely in my desert heart. Why have you gone? Why did you come here? When will you return. Shams says, "Relax, this is no great matter. Love blows where it will." Sign in to see full entry.

It Is Time to Oversimplify

Are You Feeling Sad and Lonely?

Are You Feeling Sad and Lonely? - Lionel Richie Oh Dear One, I see the pain on your face. It's funny, that is the one place we have all been. Only some of us have touched ecstasy. Only some have witnessed the births of their offspring. Very few have sailed the blue ocean. Fewer still, have climbed Earth's highest mountains. Still, every last one of us has been sad and lonely. So, wishing you every perfect blessing, Shams reminds us, "Love will find a way." Sign in to see full entry.

The High-Rise of Hate

The High-Rise of Hate In forgetfulness of the Tower of Babel, We have all joined in a great venture: Building the High-Rise of Hate. Every time you stepped out And saw a stranger as one of them, You added a girder to the terrible tower. Friend, come with me, I want to show you something. Take the red pill. Pierce through to morass Of phony fear. We are cut from the same woven bolt, All of us, children of the Earth and Sun. Can you see clearly now? This other is family, A Sister, Or a Brother....

Hundreds of Ways to Kneel and Kiss the Ground

Hundreds of Ways to Kneel and Kiss the Ground Jalalluddin Rumi first said it. 'There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.' My Brother and Sister Christian, Do not limit Beloved Jesus to the man we killed. He is the Christ, the Buddah, the Moses, the Khider, the Center of your Divine Soul. 'Let the Beauty you love, be what you do.' - Rumi Oh my sweet Muslim Brother and Sister, Do not limit Mohammed to that Prophet of Old. He merely live out his Divine Heart. Oh my glorious Sister...
