Shrine of the Woods Oh vision of my Murshid (teacher), Spiritual Oasis in the mountain woods, You art a Shrine honoring All those Who have held aloft, The Light of Truth Amidst the darkness of human ignorance. Your sign announces a House of Prayer for All People. You have been a refuge for me and All Lovers of Truth. I kneel now in Holy respect within your eight walls. Let my prayer rise as incense Joining with Angels and Archangels and All the company of heaven And those awake on earth. Shams... Sign in to see full entry.

Divorced from Nature
Divorced from Nature Spirit and Nature, dancing together, That is how it has been for millions of years. That’s the way God planned it, that’s the way Goddess wants it to be. I admit, I have been observing my neighbors. Now, i am worried. They live their whole lives indoors, separated from Nature by wood and fiber. Saddness grips me, for this disconnection. Oh, dear neighbors, CTake off your shoes; Come outside with me. Shams will show you secrets which only Nature can reveal. Shams says, “See... Sign in to see full entry.

Holy Smoke
Holy Smoke A sip of wine becomes my Savior’s blood. A pinch of tobbaco becomes my Sacred prayer. This Breath becomes my Holy awareness. This is My blood, shed for you; This tobacco, to heaven and earth and the. four directions; This Breath, the touch of Creator’s Presence; All these are Reverent Paths toward the One. Wine can lead to Alcoholism. Tobacco can lead to addictive abuse and damaged lungs. Breath only leads to Life. The time has come for me to let go of my tobacco habit. Let my every...

Watching the Moon this Morning
Watching the Moon this Morning I looked up at four-thirty this morning. The moon was just over half full. Suddenly, I knew this tableau from the inside out. Some consciousness, took hold of me, I saw my ‘self’ completely, The Whole-sublime Universe With no part left out. All I could utter was, “Oh, my God!” Sign in to see full entry.

In the Beginning
In the Beginning In the beginning, God/dess created. Do you remember? Ant when we had fallen into sin nnd become subject to evil and death, You, in Your Mercy, sent Your Only Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, to dwell among us. God/dess became tired of hearing our complains. Just so, S/He came down from Perfection to see how it is for us creatures. It killed Him. The grave could not contain this Sacrificial Love. So, on the third day, he rose, in accordance with the Scriptures. Shams says, "Christ... Sign in to see full entry.

I am sitting in the center oofthe universe,
I am sitting in the center of the universe. From my finite self-center, the universe extends in every direction. This Universe is born and dies on every breath. I am at its center. Amazingly, so are you. From this perfect unity, we dance. Do not ask me what I know, I am bragging on my unknowing. Shams says, "Kneel here with me kneel here and kiss the ground."

Beginning Your Forty-Fourth Journey 'Round the Sun
Beginning Your Forty-Fourth Journey 'Round the Sun A Father can be proud from a distance, Son. I pray for you and yours almost every day. You have matured, strong and kind. For this, I give God/dess thanks and praise with not a small heap showered on your Mother. By now, you know the pain of a broken and contrite heart. By now, you have found the Inner Light that never fails. Perhaps, by now, you have discovered the blessing of conscious breathing. Your Mother is a Saint. She gave you all the...

Damascus Road
Damascus Road Jesus had to walk that lonesome valley by Himself. The road to Damscus leads home. You must go and stand your trial. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO STAND IT BY YOURSELF. Shoulder to shoulder, Christ stands with you. On that Damascus Road, He met you. Demanding surrender of your everything and all. This Christ Light reveals the blindness of your darkened cage. For three days I lay in the grave. For three days, you must listen, wordlessly. Fear not your conviction, it is your salvation this day.... Sign in to see full entry.

I Don't Know
I Don't Know Dear One, I pray we reach the knowing of our unknowing. To confess, "I don't know.", is to enter the vast possibilities of heart hunger for Truth. This is the sweetest agony; This eternal hunger for Thee. I open my eyes to Thee, Light from your hungry eyes pierces to the marrow of my heart. Never forget this hunger and the Truth it searches out. Only what Creator offers is real. Alhumdulillah! All praise and gratitude flows naturally to God/dess. Shams says, "Join me in this toast...

If I Say I'm Sorry
If I Say I'm Sorry Most every morning, I tell Creator, "I am sorry!" It's the first prayer of my practice. Perhaps, it should be my final practice each eve. To say I'm sorry, is to acknowledge I was wrong. And more, it is my hunger for help. Help me see the good red road. Help me follow Your Divine Heart. Help me be a beauty merchant, today. Are you hungry? May I have abundance to share. Are you sad and lonely? May I be your loving friend. Are you paralized by fear? May I shine a beacon of... Sign in to see full entry.

Breaching Boundaries
Breaching Boundaries My I-ness knows itself separate. You are you and not me. But, as Sadhguru reminds us, when it comes to life itself, all is one. We feel our separation, as we identify with our body/mind. Oh sweet friend, ask yourself, am i this body? Am i this mind? Who am I? Am I merely an organized collection of earth stuff? A congealed collection of Stardust? My dear Sister, my Divine Brother, Is it not time to seek our Unity? Are we not killing each other and our very Earth? Tonight,... Sign in to see full entry.

The Cross of Salvation
The Cross of Salvation Foolishness to those who are perishing. but, to those who live their truth, it is the flaming good news that there is only One. One Love, One Light, One Truth One Real. The Muslims have said it most succinctly, 'La illah ha, il Allah.' 'There is no reality outside of God/dess. Il Allah, Only God/dess. Oh Holy Traveler, Together we are dancing. Dancing to the song of compassion. Dancing to the Siren of Love. For this Life-filled breath, Dear One, we give you thanks, even... Sign in to see full entry.
