THE MAN OF WOOL (AS IT RELATES TO A SUFI MASTER )

Such a man casts no shadow, yet his passing goes not unseen by the discerning eye. Just as a passing invisible, brief and refreshing breeze can soothe the heated brow; so can the man of wool, no less invisible than the wind, soothe the heated mind with a passing glance. Sign in to see full entry.

THE WEAVERS

The soul's journey is most treacherous for it is bound to explore the cause of human nature with its myriad patterns woven with the threads of existence into the erratic tapestry of life. And, not only are we both tapestry and fabric and weaver alike, but the needle as well. Thus we weave endlessly,... Sign in to see full entry.

TUESDAY MORNING RAIN

The rainfall is heavy and thick, like lukewarm soup served at the last minute to still the appetite if only temporarily.
