Sufi Lessons in Love – Live Webcast!

Salaam and Greetings of Peace:

LIVE WEBCAST POSTPONED UNTIL NOVEMBER 4TH.

Mark your calendars for Sunday, November 4^th at 8:00pm!

I will be the guest on Al Leone’s live webcast show, The Bridge of Truth. And you can even text questions during the live program to ask me :)

The theme of the show will be Sufi Lessons in Love, which is the tentative title of a book I am working on – a collection of articles and poems that explains the Sufi view of Love as the guiding principle of creation and the evolution of life towards God.

Master of the Jinn will also be discussed, so if you have any questions about the book or anything else, now is your chance to ask them live.  As the date is right before the Presidential election, please feel free to ask political questions also :)

Click Here for the link to my show page. Once there, just click on the Now Playing button on the left at showtime and follow the instructions to text your questions.

InshAllah, it will be a beneficial experience for us all :)

Ya Haqq!

When no longer my ‘I’ is raging

Each time I try to make myself bigger, I get tinier;
Each time I want to make up for lost time, I lose it;
Each moment I delay embracing Eternity, I fall backwards;
Each morsel of life that I wish to rip and chew fattens only my ego.
Releasing my soul to the Soul and my heart to the Heart,
My will returns to the Will which first willed it to be;
And then when no longer my ‘I’ is raging, I find All resting quietly in me.

- Mignon Fahr

Jerusalem

O Pilgrim, seek Me not
In the desert places
The ruined hills
The crumbling walls
Of ancient wailing

I am gone from
The city of violence
The streets of fear
The houses of anger
And sorrow

Look, look here!
O Pilgrim
On the Path of Love
Here is the City of David
The Temple of Solomon

Where the seeker dwells
I am
The soul’s delight
Jerusalem
Of the heart

…the whole thing.
