My religion is love.
Every heart is my temple.”

Roots

A Gift of Winter

What You Seek
“What you seek is seeking you.”

Blind Loving Silence
“The lamps are different,
But the Light is the same.
So many garish lamps in the dying brain’s lamp-show,
Forget about them.
Concentrate on the essence, concentrate on the Light.
In lucid bliss, calmly smoking off its own holy fire,
The Light streams towards you from all things,
All people, all possible permutations of good, evil, thought, passion.
The lamps are different,
but the Light is the same.
One matter, one energy, one Light, one Light-mind,
Endlessly emanating all things.
One turning and burning diamond,
One, one, one.
Ground yourself, strip yourself down,
To blind loving silence.
Stay there, until you see
You are gazing at the Light
With its own ageless eyes.”-Rumi
Dance of Love
“Both light and shadow
are the dance of Love.”-Rumi
Raise Your Words
“Raise your words
not your voice.
It is rain that grows flowers,
not thunder.”
-Rumi
