That Makes the Garden Smile (1/31/17) We are in a season that is as auspicious as the Beloved’s Union. The candle of the soul wakes up when the body dies. When lightning strikes, the clouds start crying. That makes the garden smile. Rubailer, Page 389, Rubai #4 More...

From the Coast of the Sea of Soul (12/24/17) O lovers, may all your drinks do you good. May this world become for you a sugar mine.   O lovers, the sounds of the best wishes have ascended to the Throne. This caravan has gone beyond the Earth and heaven. More...

The Joy Among Joys (12/17/17) O head, you are the reason among reasons. O flesh, you are the stranger among strangers. O heart, you are the desire among desires. O soul, you are the joy among joys. Rubailer, Page 417, Rubai #3 More...

The Difference Becomes Becomes Obvious (12/12/17) The best journey for me is the journey from existence to Absence. Existence is the curtain that hides the land of Absence.   Existence is like water. Absence is the sweet sea. When clean, pure water stays in ponds, it turns into a swamp, More...
