How Does This Work?

How Does this Work? How does this work? I sit and decide to write this poem. I trust that there will be something there. I open to some mysterious inner voice. And just so, these words appear And I keep marveling; How does this work? © 2018 Shamsujim Sign in to see full entry.

I Sit and Wonder

I Sit and Wonder Sometimes, I just sit and wonder. I wonder at all the blessings of this life. Then, I wonder at all the pain. Suddenly. I comr to the moment. I awake; I remember; I unite; I am One. I give thanks. © 2018 Shamsujim Sign in to see full entry.

I feel each bead Passing through my nimble fingers. On each swing of my breath, I lift my praises, My deepest concerns. And now I raise one friend On each in breath;... Sign in to see full entry.

He who thinks against his own desire is his own enemy. Bowl of Saki, January 25, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: When one considers the psychology of failure and success, failure follows failure. And why is it?

Blind Faith

Blind Faith; No such thing! Real Faith cannot be blind; For it has as object, The Real, The True, The Beautiful. Blind Faith; Do not be fooled! For if you believe you are blind, You will blame the false object of your faith When it all goes wrong. True Faith; A measure of your taking responsibility for your life. © 2013, Shamsujim Sign in to see full entry.

The Good Life

The Good Life As he sat by a small fire he had built, the old man contemplated his life. 'It is all good', he thought. “ If I should die in the night, tell them, “ He died happy!” Tell them, “ Life is never complete.” “ It goes on.” Tell them, “ This old man is moving on!” © 2013 Shamsuddin Sign in to see full entry.

Hu is this 'I' who occupies this skin? Who is this one Hu worships before this Heart. “ I look to the hills; From whence cometh my help?” My help comes in the name of All that Is All that Was All that Shall Be.

THIS LOVE

This Love This love I grok for you. I grok this love I have for you. That is, This love I feel for you, I feel in such profound ways, And at such depth; that I release you fully knowing you care well for yourself; as deeply so I do. This love is forever; this love is over and through ALL. I shall never forget nor forsake thee; I will always remember; I will always care. This love moved in, the very moment I moved out. This love has anihilated this false self. © 2012, Shamsujim // Sign in to see full entry.
