There’s a morning when presence comes
over your soul. You sing like a rooster
in your earth-colored shape. Your heart
hears and, no longer frantic, begins
to dance.

There is a voice that doesn't use words. Listen.

its using feelings

I made an oath to myself:
as long as I live
as long as my soul remains in this body
I won't deviate from the right way
but later I looked to my left and then to my right
and I saw our beloved everywhere
how could I make a wrong turn?

We gather at night to celebrate
being human. Sometimes we call out low
to the tambourine. Fish drink the sea,
but the sea does not get smaller! We
eat the clouds and evening light. We
are slaves tasting the royal wine.

ﻟﻠﻤﺮﺃﺓ ﺣﻀﻮﺭ خفي .. لا يراه ويهتدي به إلا رجل متفتح عارف
فهناك ﻧﻮﻉ ﺁﺧﺮ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺮﺟﺎﻝ ..ﺑﺪﺍﺧﻠﻬﻢ ﺣﻴﻮﺍﻥ ﻣﺤﺒﻮﺱ
ليت هؤلاء ﻳﻘﻮّﻣﻮﻥ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻬﻢ ﺃﻭﻻ‌
ليتهم يعرفون أن ﺍﻟﻤﺤﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻔﻬﻢ ﻫﻲ ﻣﺎ ﺗﺠﻌﻠﻨﺎ ﺑﺸﺮﺍ ، ﺃﻣﺎ ﺍلشهوة ﻭﺍﻟﺤﻤﻴﺔ .. ﻓﻼ‌

ﺭﺑﻤﺎ ﻛﺎﻧﺖ ﺍﻟﻤﺮﺃﺓ ﻧﻮﺭﺍ ﻣﻦ نور ﺍﻟﻠﻪ>
ﺭﺑﻤﺎ ﻛﺎﻧﺖ ﺧﻼ‌ﻗﺔ ﻭﻟﻴﺴﺖ ﻣﺨﻠﻮﻗﺔ
ﺭﺑﻤﺎ ﻫﻲ ﻟﻴﺴﺖ ﻣﺠﺮﺩ ﺫﻟﻚ ﺍﻟﺸﻜﻞ ﺍﻷ‌ﻧﺜﻮﻱ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﻋﻢ ﺍﻟﺬﻱ ﺗﺮﺍﻩ

And he misses her
Like a wind starved sail
He sits knowing what direction to go
But the current keeps pulling him
Down river.

Every fragile beauty, every perfect forgotten sentence,
you grieve their going away, but that is not how it is.
Where they come from never goes dry.
It is an always flowing spring.

When someone critises or disagrees with you, a small ant of hatred and antagonism is born in your heart. If you do not squash that ant at once, it might grow into a snake, or even a dragon.

You have been walking the ocean's edge,
holding up your robes to keep them dry.

You must dive naked under and deeper under,
a thousand times deeper. Love flows down.

The ground submits to the sky and suffers what comes.
Tell me, is the earth worse for giving in like that?

Do not put blankets over the drum.
Open completely.

There is a moon inside every human being. Learn to be companions with it.

Silence tell more than words can say .
