St John of the Cross - Seeds

Some seeds beneath the earth are dormant. They fell the last time the cool air turned the leaves gold. those seeds have different needs than we do; let them go about their life completely unharmed by your views. We have cracked open, we sensed even beneath the Earth- the Holy was near, and are reaching up to know and claim light as our self.

Ask Those Who Know

Ask those who know... Ask those who know, what's this soul within the flesh? Reality's own power. What blood fills these veins? Thought is an errand boy, fear a mine of worries. These sighs are love's clothing. Who is the Khan on the throne? Give thanks for His unity. He created when nothing existed. And since we are actually nothing, what are possessions, houses, shops? God sent us here to come and see the world. This world itself is not everlasting. What are all of Solomon's riches? Ask Yunus... Sign in to see full entry.

Hafiz - A Brimming Cup of Wine

A Brimming Cup of Wine A FLOWER-TINTED cheek, the flowery close Of the fair earth, these are enough for me Enough that in the meadow wanes and grows The shadow of a graceful cypress-tree. I am no lover of hypocrisy; Of all the treasures that the earth can boast, A brimming cup of wine I prize the most-- This is enough for me! To them that here renowned for virtue live, A heavenly palace is the meet reward; To me, the drunkard and the beggar, give The temple of the grape with red wine stored!... Sign in to see full entry.

Hafiz - Secrets of Love

Who Can I tell The secrets of love? Who has not confined their life To a padded cell? Look at the nature of a river. Its size, strength, and ability to give Are often gauged by its width and current. God Too moves between our poles, our depth. He flows and gathers power between Our heart's range of Forgiveness and Compassion. Who can I tell, Who can Hafiz tell tonight All the secrets of Love?

Rumi - Two Ways

I have two ways of loving You: A selfish one And another way that is worthy of You. In my selfish love, I remember You and You alone. In that other love, You lift the veil And let me feast my eyes on Your Living Face. by Rabia al-Basri (Rabia al- Adawiyya) Sign in to see full entry.

Hafiz - Everything You Do Is Sacred

NOW IS THE TIME Now is the time to know That all that you do is sacred. Now, why not consider A lasting truce with yourself and God.
