Love Said To Me by Maulana Rumi

I worship the moon.
Tell me of the soft glow of a candle light
and the sweetness of my moon.

Don’t talk about sorrow,
tell me of that treasure,
hidden if it is to you,
then just remain silent.

Last night
I lost my grip on reality
and welcomed insanity.
Love saw me and said,
I showed up.
Wipe your tears
and be silent.

I said, O Love I am frightened, but it’s not you.
Love said to me, there is nothing that is not me.
be silent.

I will whisper secrets in your ear
just nod yes
and be silent.

A soul moon
appeared in the path of my heart.
How precious is this journey.

I said, O Love
what kind of moon is this?
Love said to me,
this is not for you to question.
be silent.

I said, O Love
what kind of face is this,
angelic, or human?
Love said to me,
this is beyond anything that you know.
Be silent.

I said, please reveal this to me
I am dying in anticipation.
Love said to me,
that is where I want you:
Always on the edge,
be silent.
You dwell in this hall of
images and illusions,
leave this house now
and be silent.

I said, O Love, tell me this:
Does the Lord know you are
treating me this way?
Love said to me,
yes He does,
just be totally…
totally… silent

 

The SP conspiracy begins…

… whenever the leaf changes there’s got to be some reflection and thus I’m/we’re reflecting …

One of the first principles of what we’re taught in SunniPath is to make sure that we spell it right – it’s not sunnipath or Sunnipath but it’s SunniPath – in case you missed the point, there’s a capital “S” and a capital “P”. The next principal is to make sure that you serve others and in doing so you’ll be serving yourself. And another principal, if you’re in Shaykh AbdulKareems class, is to say “we” or “she/he” when referring to “me” rather than the nafsee me and nafsee I. Got it?

So based on these three principles you can imagine the shock and horror this British lass was subjected to when she found this mugshot:

OH MY GOSH>>>

a) there’s no capital “P” -

b) hold on, you Jordanians had a cake without us?! Right where’s the British SP clan – let’s get together and make a huge cake and scoff it down ourselves.

c) there’s only 5 people in SunniPath?! Am wondering if they’ve all got multiple personality disorders cos I swear I was talking to Sidi Imran, Sidi Ismael, Sidi Besim, Sidi Abdullah, Sidi Mumen, Sidi Farid one day about creativity/IT/learning issues… or were they all just one CD but with different kuffis on?
And maybe Sister Muzlefa, Sister Saudah, Sister Khadija, Sister Naielah, Sister Danya, and Sister Huma are all one sister with different coloured hijabs… they all sound so similar
And then that would leave the final “3″ – erm my calculations don’t sum up to “5″… we’re now left confused.

d) are we expecting the “SunniPath 5″ comic to come out? cos it kinda reminds me of Enid Blyton’s “The Famous Five” and they went on boat trips and stuff which was pretty cool.

Ah well, whatever occurs us Brits will be ready for you… she and her currently non-existent army of loony Brit SunniPath’ers. In fact I’m going to start recruiting now – the first mission is to make a cake that is bigger than what SP made… who wants to join me?
