Poem- Without

I walk through the inner worlds    without feet. I speak to my Beloved    without tongue. I embrace the Lord of Lords    without hands. I hear the melodies of Heaven    without ears. I see the Beloved's face    without eyes. All of these things I do    through my heart-opening.

The Soul's Dilemma

Once again, each day, I travel the path of your love. Every night, without fail, I mourn your absence anew. My soul lacks the courage to love one such as you- and my heart lacks the strength to abandon you too. Reference~ Attar

Dante in Love

Dante is the greatest poet of the middle ages.   His encounter with Beatrice would have him yearning for God and unraveling all of love’s mysteries.   She would grow up and so would he.   She, like Dante, had an arranged marriage.   But Beatrice and Dante were not sweethearts, or doomed lovers.   His love for her was something else. As a boy, Dante was taken to a party of a wealthy banker by his father.   When the food was served, the children ran off to play.   Dante was arrested by the sight of Beatrice in her bright red dress.   From the beginning Dante’s passion for Beatrice was extraordinary.   Dante tells us, ‘At that very moment, and I speak the truth, the vital spirit, the one that dwells in the most secret chamber of the heart, began to tremble so violently that even the most minute veins of my body were strangely affected; and trembling, it spoke these words:   Here is a God stronger than I who comes to rule over me. ...

The Real Reality

The temple of the Living God is within your own heart.  Man has built temples, synagogues, churches, and mosques to worship Him and have tried desperately to see Him there.  The human soul is God.  God created it and all Living things.  If you look into another's eyes you will see God staring back at you.  Why is this so difficult to grasp?  There are millions of aspects of God in creation.  One creator behind them All.  The real Reality is the All is One.   Wrap your mind around the One and you will be closer to the truth.

The Valley of Loneliness

In the Valley of Loneliness silence has a voice. An endless ocean sweeps against an endless shore. The ethereal sky expands into eternity. It is the land of the Lonely Man whom hopes to unite with the woman that echos the silence of his loneliness. Hand in hand they walk from the Valley of Loneliness towards the Highest Peak. Their eyes gazing at the same peak. As they move closer to the peak, they move closer to Eternity.
