Rumi - Self

IN EVERY BREATH if you're the center of your own desires you'll lose the grace of your beloved but if in every breath you blow away your self claim the ecstasy of love will soon arrive in every breath if you're the center of your own thoughts the sadness of autumn will fall on you but if in every breath you strip naked just like a winter the joy of spring will grow from within all your impatience comes from the push for gain of patience let go of the effort and peace will arrive all your...

Getting Free

Getting Free Oh what webs indeed. In love we weave them; in fear, we snarl them. Who knows the secret of freedom from our web? Lean closer, lest the word be made public. The secret is this: Surrender to this web; It is yours and yours alone. The escape is in movement slow. The freedom your release. © 2012 Shamsujim Sign in to see full entry.

You Asked for Space

You Asked For Space You asked for space; I gave it at the cost of a burning, yearning heart. © 2012 Shamsujim Sign in to see full entry.

Don't You Love It?

Don't you love it? When those who are close begin to assume that they know you so well as to be able to predict your every behaviour?...and, then, proceed to get mad at you when you inevitably break free of their book-jacket box! When will we learn, Dear Lovers?... when? To accept one another as we do an exsquisite sunset? Soon we will and soon we will perceive the Glory beyond good and bad, right and wrong, better or worse! In that day we shall take our proper place in this awesome creation. ©... Sign in to see full entry.

Guilty

Guilty as charged, I write those words, their meaning, a private joke. An overly modest prude would ne’er undress for a fool like me. It is no matter: The commitment was never there; Merely playing house, you were perfect, undisturbed orderliness. Sign in to see full entry.

Be Bold in Your Faith

Be Bold in Your Faith When you turn the key, you believe this door will open; this car will start; this mystery be solved. When you lay down to sleep, do you believe in blessing dreams? Is your night, terror free? Are you thankful? When you do your work, are you a blessing? When you play, do you surrender your heart? Come, walk with me: we shall talk of many things. Deep in the forest, We shall find the glen beyond right and wrong. Here truth only heals. Perfectly created we remain: Free, at... Sign in to see full entry.

Darling

Darling, I miss you; Darling, I care. Darling, I want you; Darling, an answer to prayer. Beloved, let me support you, Beloved, know I care, Beloved, I so love you; Beloved, where are you, Beloved, where? I feel you inside me; I know your deep care. Oh my most precious darling, Join in love's dare. © 2012 Shamsujim Sign in to see full entry.

Our Spot

Our spot; Me, alone You, at home. Love calls deep to deep, and to love is to forgive for the sake of our selves. But, the Friend speaks: 'too much I am with words,' he tells me. Just so, we enter silence. © 2012 Shamsujim Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Belated Birthday

Happy Belated Birthday Wishing you belated birthday thoughts of love, harmony and beauty in your life. This year the lateness is unplanned, but conscious.

May your children never disown you! Remember, my beloved one, Forgi veness is the key to ressurection. © 2012 Shamsuddin Jim Norton Sign in to see full entry.

When?

When? When will we learn to drop our golden judgments by which we cast others in to neatly defined prisons of our truth? Our judgments are golden! But only to our small-selves Our truth is the highest and beauty-filled, but, only for our little separate-self. Oh, Lord Buddha/Jesus/Zoroaster/Light of the World: Guide us on the unfolding path. Be kind as we are kind. Be gentle as gentleness we offer to each and all. Clear your heart-cave! A guest is coming. Clear your bio-computing mind.... Sign in to see full entry.

My Picture Still Adorns Your Fridge

My Picture Still Adorns Your Fridge As long as my picture supports refrigerator side or front, I shall be there for you at all levels of Being. How ever distant may be the flight that divides us, I shall fly to you on the ethers at easch flutter of your heart. May grace fill the moments of our separation as grace together we create. © 2012 Shamsujim Sign in to see full entry.

Cupcake

Cupcake Arising early, as is often my habit, I am delighted to find this cupcake, left in love by my sweetsoul mate. It has become, with fresh brewed coffee, the perfect beginning of another day! © 2012, Shamsujim Sign in to see full entry.

Do You Not See?

Do you not see the insidious insanity of talking about your friends when not present? None question your good intentions but can you not see how your words have create prisons of labels. In trying to help, you have created another veil of misunderstanding. as if a label is some insight. All that has occured is an additional barrier to what is. © 2012 Jim Norton Sign in to see full entry.
