God Bless This Mess

God, Bless this mess... 'cause I have no clue how to proceed. I surrender all, Dear Creator. If I am to act, direct me! If I am to sit at Your feet, I bow down. If 'crazy wisdom' is called for, I am so ready to be the fool. Truly, I wait on Thy Light; For I see again, just how blind I am. Breathng in and Breathing out.... I accept what is. © 2011 Shamsujim Sign in to see full entry.

The Angels Rushed Through The Woods Today

The Angels Rushed Through The Woods Today The Angels rushed through the woods today. Or, Perhaps it was some wood sprites. The first band marched through, Murshida in the lead. The were followed, soon enough, by the playful Ones. They seemed to be racing for the tops of the trees. Going for the best view. This, I know is true: That all were heading for the open fields To watch another Sun falling behind the spinning earth. Sunset arrives, sweetly ending another day. Shams is reduced to silence...

Handfasting

Hand Fasting In the modern age, there comes a time in the relationship of two in love when commitment begins yearning. All shyness aside,, it is that yearning which requires the public declaration of commitment's intention. Hands are called to express both giving and receiving. Deep calls to deep to deeper expression. I ask you, Beloved, bind your hand to mine and I to thine. Together, naked before All, we celebrate this finding Love. Before family, we express our lives voluntarily bound as hand... Sign in to see full entry.

Cat Shit

Cat Shit Concupiscence A Moral Dilemma Cats learn early To cover up their 'business'. Leaving humans to think Of more important matters Than cleaning up cat shit. But, the day inevitably arrives, When Miss Feline discovers Your houseplants. You need not be surprised That soil is more attractive Than granulated deodorant. Smell a sample of each For yourself. Soil is rich with life; The granules are sterile, perfumed, lifeless. Cats are not dumb: They are organic. Dedicated to renewing with fresh... Sign in to see full entry.

I Spit in the Face of Fear

I spit in the face of feat. F(alse) E(vidence) A(ppearing) R(eal) Fear is no match for Love. Place your bets early on this match of matches. The outcome is assured by centuries of competition. Some would say, 'Creator stacked the deck.' The awakened ones know this: It is just the nature of love! 2001, ShamsuddinThere is no contest. Fear hasn't a chance. Freedom is by nature, free. A choice is always yours. Choose fear ort choose Love. Each is exclusive and cannot exist in the other's presence.... Sign in to see full entry.

The Sweet Joy of Missing You

The Sweet Joy of Missing You It is all so new and fresh that I want not to be away from you! Yet, here am I. There, you are. What to do? This love I feel needs nothing more; Not even, your presence. You have entered my heart Dearly Beloved. Delicious, the agony of this longing. To be with you, My Heart's desire. To hold you in this hungry heart, My exquisite joy. Turmoil, confusion, giddy swooning: all the birth pangs of awakening hearts. This pain of separation, more than I can bare. This pain... Sign in to see full entry.

Abandoning Gossip

Abandoning gossip, he abstains from gossip; he speaks at the right time, speaks what is fact, speaks on what is good, speaks on the Dhamma and the Discipline; at the right time he speaks such words as are worth recording, reasonable, moderate, and beneficial. -Majjhima-Nikaya From "365 Buddha: Daily Meditations," edited by Jeff Schmidt. Abandoning Gossip Teach me to forgo the pleasures of delicious gossip. Purify my Heart. Teach me to honor the divine in all beings; Purify my Heart. Teach me to... Sign in to see full entry.

Who Is This One?

Who Is This One? 14 MAR Who is this holy stranger, come into my life to help me grow? Who is this precious one to whom I have pledged both time and attention? Who is this sacred being blessing my days and nights with sacred love?” Is there anyone who can open my eyes to know who I am dealing with? Will time reveal my holy, sacred soul mate? Or is this another companion on the way? Surely God has blessed our erstwhile time together; So few minutes, we get to spend. C. 2011 Shamsuddin Sign in to see full entry.
