There is an unseen sweetness in the stomach’s emptiness. We are lutes. When the soundbox is filled, no music can come forth. When the brain and the belly burn from fasting, every moment a new song rises out of the fire.
[Mevlana Jelalluddin Rumi]
The Importance of Kind Words
Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.
[Mother Teresa]
What My Heart Desires
My heart desires to know what is True,
It feels the warmth of a presence unknown,
The unknown is yet familiar,
Looking for what it means to be free,
Repressed emotions bring about devotion
Knowing thy self propels you deeper into this Ocean
Begging others for guidance You become my true guide,
Helplessly helping the cause of Man
Not knowing while knowing,
Tears flow down my cheeks,
Carrying this weight of wisdom
This weight of Truth belongs to Your Lovers,
Seperated from you only brings me closer,
Feeling this burn and distance constantly,
When will it be for us to be reunited,
Seeking for what is Real here and now,
Walking in the shadows filled with light,
Hearing the whispers yet listening to Him,
Love, love, love...
My heart desires to know You.
