Oh Lord, My Lord

Oh Lord, My Lord. Oh Lord, my Lord, How glorious are Thy ways. How inscrutable are Thy thoughts, how unfathomable, Thy depths. How often I forget Thy sweet Presence; Forgive me, and help me quiet this false ego. To Thee, do I give willing surrende; Oh, help me always remember Thy Holy and all pervading Presence.

A favorite Rumi poem

Here is one of my favorite Rum poems The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want. Don't go back to sleep. People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open. Don't go back to sleep. Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi Sign in to see full entry.

Relationship Is Two Way Street

Relationship Is Two Way Street We have begun a new relationship. We get to define its shape and color; Its texture and form. Shams can guarantee that neither of us gets to define the whole thing. When one bends to much for the other, something or someone must snap. With you, I desire to create a Holy Relationship. Can you dig it? Or do you want something else? Shams says: Keep talking.
