I am the taste of pure water & the radiance of the sun & moon. I am the sacred word & the sound heard in air, & the courage of human beings. I am the sweet fragrance in the earth & the radiance of fire; I am the life in every creature & the striving of the spiritual aspirant.”

“And still, after all this time,
The sun never says to the earth,
‘You owe Me.’

Look what happens with
A love like that,
It lights the Whole Sky.”

a bit of Hafiz for this Wednesday:

The short-lived smoldering flame,
bright lit dance etched in mind ravenous,
imbued within the yearning heart,
outlives still the wick that remains to be lit. #Poetry #Flame #Poem #DivineFlame #Poet #Sufi #Writer #Art #Moth

I’m tired of social media and its negativity so #Bluesky is my last refuge. I’m looking to make friends who share my interests and love for #Sufism, #Mysticism, #Islam and #IslamicMysticism, #Meditation, #Vedanta and #Hinduism, #Universalism, and #Spirituality generally—all #Spiritual paths welcome!

“All religions, all this singing, one song.

The differences are just illusion and vanity.
Sunlight looks a little different
on this wall than it does on that wall
and a lot different on this other one,
but it is still the same light.”

“I die of love for him, perfect in every way,
Lost in the strains of wafting music.
My eyes are fixed upon his delightful body
And I do not wonder at his beauty.“
