I Can't Get Too Upset

Somehow, I just cannot manage to get too upset about the sorry state of the world. Breathing in and breathing out that's what life is all about. As for fat cats and their wars, they are fatuous, vacuous bores. So tell me now, "The sky is falling!" Thank God, their Mothers will soon be calling, "Time for supper; Time to eat. Put down your thumper and have a treat." For some must go and some must stay. You hurt your friends with stupid play. We said, "No hitting!" You said, "I'll be good." And, so...

Pen in Hand

Pen in hand;Dream in mind, unfolding.... A breath of Holy smoke; Conversation around being thankful and just what to do this year. The choice between Murshid and Son weighs heavy. "You will always have the Murshid, but, in truth, not the Son." "True," she said. "And helpful?" Shams questions. "La illah ha il Allah Hu." No existence b ut this; No God, but 'I AM that I AM' 'Subhan Allah, Alhumdullah, Allah ho Akbar!'... The royal path of Service, the holy call of Love! © 2011, Shamsuddin Sign in to see full entry.

Dedicated

This moment, now is dedicated to you. This breath, now is given to you. This love, now is a beacon for you. This light, now is revelation from you. This 'you', now is Your gift to all. © 2010, Shamsuddin Sign in to see full entry.

I Plead My Case

Oh, my sweet Daughter, fulfillment of my deepest Heart. Hear this cry: "For every wound inflicted, I stand before you now in sincere contrition of soul. I have called upon my guardian angels to plead my case. I did my very best with what I was given and what I knew then. With bended spirit, I plead with Thee, 'Drop all your righteous indignation, that you may know this Peace which found me years ago.' 'Do not sell your birthright for the temporal pleasure of being right.' Join me for a long... Sign in to see full entry.

I Stepped into the Night

I stepped into the night much as I stepped into your life years ago: in simple faith that it was good, that we were good together. We created much holiness, some happiness, and a deep companionship. I stepped into the night. You were there, here with me. We spoke in silent paragraphs of love, and dreams, and plans, and things.... and it was good! © 2010, Shamsuddin Sign in to see full entry.

You Have a Choice, Madzub

You Have a Choice, Madzub You have a choice, Madzub; Or do you? Did you surrender it all? All the choices? All the views of the news? All the ways to see, but One? Do you hurt the ones you love only when your inner call demands? Or are there hidden pockets Of choice, Held back for little you? We are all Madzub. Crazy passions grip us all. And Love breathes slowly Before a word is uttered. The Madzub is silent. There is no defenseFor Truth And no defenseFor Love. © 2007 Shams-i-Heartsong Sign in to see full entry.

The Age of Aquarius

The Age of Aquarius Where did it go? Is it just staring slow? Aquarian Age, Are you awakening? What are we to see? An Age beaten into submission? Or Merely death throes of war? Let those who have eyes to see Know the Truth That sets us free. Free at last From war's tyranny, Efforts turn to harmony. The Human Wars Now Turn to Disease, Poverty, Environmental Harmony, And justice for ALL. Dear Brother, Dear Sister, Awaken Now Here the Call Turn the Sword Into the Plow. You must choose now, Whom you... Sign in to see full entry.

Attention

Attention! Pay attention! Be aware! Each moment varying in length presents its own miracle to those with eyes to see. Give your awareness freely to each, unfolding moment. Remind yourself, "This too shall pass!" Clutch nothing. Float gently in the deep middle of flowing moment's stream. This is the way that leads home with the most joy. © 2010, Shamsuddin Sign in to see full entry.

Everything Reminds Me of You

Everything reminds me of you. The music; The smiles from friends and family; The quiet times alone, outside with a cigarette: All these call you to heart and mind. © 2010 Shamsuddin Sign in to see full entry.

My Birthday Poem

Today is the 64th anniversary of my birth. My Mother is no longer on this plane.... No doubt, I shall not be here forever, myself. So this is the day! To live it fully is all that we have been given. God danced the day I was born. She danced on your day as well! 2010, Shamsuddin Sign in to see full entry.

No Bitterness

With no bitterness no rancor, I greet thee in all humility. I have loved you as I was able. I love you now with a purity that astounds even me. I shall love you deeper, better, more completely tomorrow. If you but know how accepting, how complete, how forgiving is this love, you would faint in blissful reverie. 2010, Shamsuddin Sign in to see full entry.

A Seed of God Grows Into God - From my new e-book

A Seed of God Grows into God To everyone of us there must come a time when the whole universe will be found to have been a dream, when we find the soul is infinitely better than the surroundings. It is only a question of time, and time is nothing in the infinite. -Sai Baba Just a twinkle from your eyes, But, it contained a light, Royal and profound. You must stop hiding soon. Shams sees through Your feigned confusion. Find the place inside you That is God! Then every breath will be transformed.... Sign in to see full entry.
