Your Love
On the throne you sit
Admiring us from within
Your greatest creation
Unshaken with its frugality
When storms come
You ask of faith and trust
Your voice so still
“Let go and believe”
It’s meant to be easy
To love and be loved
How great your love is

Entry 17
I love Rumi poems. The words provoke my heart and mind to dance and merry.
Do you know what you are?
You are a manuscript oƒ a divine letter.
You are a mirror reflecting a noble face.
This universe is not outside of you.
Look inside yourself;
everything that you want,
you are already that.”
― Rumi, Hush, Don’t Say Anything to God: Passionate Poems of Rumi

New Beginnings
We cherish new beginnings—be it a wedding, career change, nee relationship, a spiritual connection with Christ, or a change in location.
Yet how frequently do we open up about the struggles—the dark nights of the soul?

A Wish
How swiftly the days fly by
Mask on just to survive the day
Aren’t you tired of being someone else?
Uncertainty
Oh I wish you had taught me earlier
How to love and be kind to myself
Maybe I would have grasped it
Authenticity

Clarity
Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his heart, and that depends upon how much he has polished it. Whoever has polished it more sees more – more unseen forms become manifest to him.

Silence: A Personal Encounter
Let’s talk about silence.
Silence – often deemed uncomfortable or even a cause for concern. Have you ever found yourself in situations where your silence becomes a trigger for others? Let’s dive into the confusion of this often misunderstood element of communication.
Being naturally quiet. I mostly observe the world around me, and ask questions when I’m curious or when I don’t understand a concept. Until recently, I had never encountered anyone attempting to coerce me into breaking my silence.
The unexpected encounter occurred while I was working. A girl whom I’ll refer to as ‘Beck,’ approached me. Anticipating she had a specific reason for seeking me out. I waited for her to speak
To my surprise, Beck sat down and asked, “Why don’t you speak?” This question lingered in the air, and I just stared at her. What kind of question is this?
Within a few seconds, there was an unexpected turn – she began to victimize herself. “Someone might think you don’t like me,” she said. Internally, I was questioning the motive behind her attempts to spin the situation out of context.
She goes ahead emphasizing the importance of speaking and even shared a tale about someone who, as she claimed, missed blessings due to silence and was consequently rendered mute for life. It was a surprising moment, was she aiming to provoke a reaction, or did she genuinely believe her story?
Maintaining my composure, I waited for her next words. I almost laughed at this when she played the offended card, declaring she would never return to my place.
What is going on? First, her presence was uninvited, and her leaving was insignificant to me. Yet, the lingering question remained – why was she so uncomfortable with silence?
In the midst of this encounter, I couldn’t help but reflect on society’s unease with silence. Why is silence perceived as a threat, and why do some feel compelled to fill it with unnecessary noise?
Can you relate?

Goodness of God
You’re incredible
Absolutely marvelous
Deserving of all the praises.
You rescued me
Revived my spirit
Restored my voice
Healed my shattered spirit.
You gave me strength to embrace life again
Transformed everything
Your goodness is not a surprise.
I adore you, I love you
I’ll share your goodness
For you are Sovereign.

Secrets of the Heart
I listen to you
As you navigate choices and strategies
While I contemplate the magic behind your actions
In your quiet moments, desires find solace
When desire fades, silent teachings emerge
Oh, my unbiased, kind soul
You’ve taught me to embrace space
To find serenity in stillness
Your mysteries remain veiled
Yet, one certainty prevails
I wouldn’t be myself without you.

Entry 10
Happy new week. Today I read this poem, and I just want to share it with you.
Let Go of Your Worries
Let go of your worries
and be completely clear-hearted,
like the face of a mirror
that contains no images.
If you want a clear mirror,
behold yourself
and see the shameless truth,
which the mirror reflects.
If metal can be polished
to a mirror-like finish,
what polishing might the mirror
of the heart require?
Between the mirror and the heart
is this single difference:
the heart conceals secrets,
while the mirror does not.
~The Divani Shamsi Tabriz, XIII
