From the moment of time’s…

From the moment of Time’s first-drawn breath,
Love resides in us,
A treasure locked into the heart’s hidden vault;
Before the first seed broke open the rose bed of Being,
An inner lark soared through your meadows,
Heading toward Home.
~Bibi Hayati

I should not make any promises right now

I should not make any promises right now,
But I know if you
Pray
Somewhere in this world
Something good will happen.
~Hafiz

A Time To Believe

To believe is to know that
every day is a new beginning.
Is to trust that miracles happen,
and dreams really do come true.

To believe is to see angels
dancing among the clouds,
To know the wonder of a stardust sky
and the wisdom of the man in the moon.

To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart,
The innocence of a child’s eyes
and the beauty of an aging hand,
for it is through their teachings we learn to love.

To believe is to find the strength
and courage that lies within us
When it’s time to pick up
the pieces and begin again. Read more

You suppose you are the trouble but…

You suppose you are the trouble
But you are the cure
You suppose that you are the lock on the door
But you are the key that opens it
It’s too bad that you want to be someone else
You don’t see your own face, your own beauty
Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.

~Jalal ad-Din Rumi

Are you looking for me?

Are you looking for me?
I am in the next seat.
My shoulder is against yours.
You will not find me in the stupas,
not in Indian shrine rooms,
nor in synagogues,
nor in cathedrals:
not in masses,
nor kirtans,
not in legs winding around your own neck,
nor in eating nothing but vegetables.
When you really look for me,
you will see me instantly —
you will find me in the tiniest house of time.

—Kabir

And, So …My Love

You are not lost,
you are only dreaming.
Your heart is not broken,
it is only your vision
that is bruised.
You are not blind,
you are simply looking
out instead of in—
and even though
you feel lonely,
you are not alone, my Love,
you have only imagined
a great span of time
and distance between us—
you have only envisioned
a great space
between the seasons of
the autumn moon
and the summer sun,
yet there are no miles
nor are there any minutes
in eternity.

And, so …my Love,
without time
and without distance—
without anything between us—
would it not be true
that You and I
are One? Read more

Two Hearts

Two Hearts,
Two Minds,
In time,
Did find,
One Love,
One Aim,
Two paths
The same!

~Vijay K Vijay

Just Imagine

Just imagine
that you
have come to Earth
to do
nothing more
than write a story—
and that you know
Your Story
is more important
than anything else
in this world,
because it is
your only
purpose in life.

Just one good story.

And so
you make it
as beautiful as you can—
knowing it is
the only reason
you are here.

Just imagine.

Inspirational poem by Rumi

Here is a beautiful, inspirational poem by Rumi:

Like birdsong beginning inside the egg.
Like this universe coming into existence.

The lover wakes, and whirls
in a dancing joy
then kneels down
in praise.

Inspirational Poem from Thich Nhat Hanh…

Here is a beautiful, inspirational poem by Thich Nhat Hanh:

You are me, and I am you.
Isn’t it obvious that we “inter-are”?
You cultivate the flower in yourself
so that I will be beautiful.
I transform the garbage in myself
so that you will not have to suffer.

I support you; you support me.
I am in this world to offer you peace;
you are in this world to bring me joy.

—Thich Nhat Hanh
