Blindness & Solitude

Spiritual Dispossession

Rumi

 While still in the cage of your being

behold the spirit bird before it flies away

Rumi

 

Beauty is the Garden

scent of roses, murmuring water

flowing gently . . .

Can words describe the indescribable?

Rumi

 

One day you will see me sprawled in the tavern

my turban pawned, my prayer rug stained with wine.

Intoxicated with the teasing kiss of my beloved

I see his curls dancing on the palm of my hand.

Rested, he is tempting me to stay awake

and feast with him till dawn.

How blessed I am that this charmer

entices my spirit away from this world.

Lamb of GOD

Who takes away

the sins of the world

pour out upon us 

the Holy Spirit.

Amen

 

Let that which He has ordained from all ages happen to me.

Geoffrey Chaucer

. . .

"By God," he thought, "I'm living in fantasy!

If I had control of my senses, I'd surely know

She's dead and drowned, lying on the floor of the sea."

And then he changed his tack, "Yet, although

That's reason itself, what if Christ might be

The force that brings me to her, just as he

Might well have ordered her journey out of Syria?"

. . .
