Come, come

do you hear the music?

The sema has begun!

“Go away, I’m ill.” I said.

“Oh, stop complaining,”

he pulled my ear.

“Come and see how

both worlds are dancing!”


-Rumi-

Good morning Lee

He is gone!

The one without a rival.

He is gone!

The one I am never tired of.

No cure

for my broken heart .

the rose has lost its petals,

but the thorn is left behind.


-Rumi-

I want a kiss from You,

said my heart.

“Yes, but the price

is your life.”

My heart leaped with joy

and said,

Who cares about the price!


-Rumi-

ohh my be still my soul!! I am in total awe!!!!

Hello Jenni

Hello Sherrie

Aaaah Rumi....


Rumi- nating has become my morning ritual.

Good evening Jenni

Soul receives from soul that knowledge, therefore not by book

nor from tongue.

If knowledge of mysteries come after emptiness of mind, that is

illumination of heart.





Rumi.

Good Morning Lee

SOMEONE UNTIED YOUR CAMEL


I cannot sit still with my countrymen in chains.
I cannot act mute
Hearing the world’s loneliness
Crying near the Beloved’s heart.

My love for God is such
That I could dance with Him tonight without you,
But I would rather have you there.

Is your caravan lost?

It is,
If you no longer weep from gratitude or happiness,
Or weep
From being cut deep with the awareness
Of the extraordinary beauty
That emanates from the most simple act
And common object.

My dear is your caravan lost?

It is if you can no longer be kind to yourself
And loving to those who must live
With the sometimes difficult task of loving you.

At least come to know
That someone untied your camel last night
For I hear its gentle voice
Calling for God in the desert.

At least come to know
That Hafiz will always hold a lantern
With galaxies blooming inside
And that

I will always guide your soul to
The divine warmth and exhilaration
Of our Beloved’s
Tent.


-Hafiz-

ahhhh soul from soul - I love that Lee

Listen to the reed, how it complains of separation ...


Blessed time! when we are sitting,
I and thou,
With two forms and only one soul,
I and thou.
Fragrance, song of birds, they quicken ev'rything
When we come into the garden,
I and thou.
All the stars of heaven hurry
to see us,
And we show them our own moon,
I and thou-
I and thou without words, without
I and thou-
In delight we are united,
I and thou.
Sugar chew the heaven's parrots
in that place
Where we're sitting, laughing sweetly,
I and thou.
Strange that I and thou together
in this nook
Are apart a thousand miles, see-
I and thou.
One form in this dust, the other
in that land.
Sweet eternal Paradise there...
I and thou.


Rumi

ohhhhhhh

i think this world would be a lot better place if all the children of
the world were exposed to these words . i am greatfull for these
beautifull words of wisdom.i am not sure why there are no words
concerned with fear, hate, greed, malice, malevolence,war,
stoneings,beheadings,doomsday prophecys,lies,crucifixions and the list
goes on and on in the negative with most religions most people adhere
to,watts going on there ArtGurl????

The spirit in her is full of light and love...and when she gives it she
gives it all...I have not met a more compassionate and sharing
person...and it is my honour to call her my friend.

Michael Gabriel

It is your turn now,
you waited, you were patient.
The time has come,
for us to polish you.
We will transform your inner pearl
into a house of fire.
You're a gold mine.
Did you know that,
hidden in the dirt of the earth?
It is your turn now,
to be placed in fire.
Let us cremate your impurities.

-Rumi-


This one just spoke to me in such away I was brought to tears

KariZ - perhaps because those words of fear, hate and the like seem to
come from mankind. Yes I agree with you ... if only more absorbed the
peaceful resonance of these words.

Michael -

Jenni - You're a gold mine - and yes, I did know that. Thank you for
sharing.

How in life did I ever get this far without having found the fruits of
such thought.

I am so enjoying these posts that I hate to interject and stop the flow.
But had to say how much I enjoy the beauty here.

Oh Sherrie, it is so peaceful in here, I could stay all day
