Time to Love.. to Seek.. to Flow..

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem

Before I begin with today's topic, I want to wish my beloved a VERY happy birthday. I am grateful to Allah for placing you in my life, for drawing us nearer, and for His protection. I pray HE make ways even where there appear to be done, remove blockages and simply continue to bless us, insh'Allah. Ameen. I love you. And so it is apt that I speak of Love today; but of that love of the ONE, of peace, of tranquility, of calmness. And let all these thoughts and the outpouring of love for that Creator that gave you to me and me to you; let that be my gift to you. In you, my love, I find my Allah reflected in the smallest ways; and in HIM, my love, I am blessed to love you more.

“The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere.
They’re in each other all along.”
_Rumi

TIME OUT, everyone - BE still.. just BE..
just breathe....
inhale deep into the soles of your feet that peace that is ALLAH..
feel the footsteps of all those that have gone before you
that common walk of the spirit that seeks to discover that well of crystal clear, divine love..

Feel the thunder within their heart as they recite the Zhikr of Allah's name without even a breath of speech.
Feel the calm waters of transparent thought as it fills you from the top of your head to the ends of your toes..
Seek the face of God, the Creator, the ONE- ALLAH -
breathe in that thirst of HIM and breathe out the tiredness of dunya..
and just BE..

Meditate upon LOVE that is greater than LOVE so great it fills your every dream..
may it take you, lift you up, make you live and breathe and hope and float above all that is on this day..
and bring you gently to rest..
at the foot of those rivers of life
which flow unending, whispering secrets of the unknown..
beneath the ARSH of the Creator (his throne)..

Look around you and SEE the beauty that frames each day, and FEEL with your very soul that humming, vibrating LIFE BEAT that courses through your veins.
And know that IAM there.. the I AM that was, that is, that evermore shall be, the ONE
the ONE..
the ONE..
ONE..
O - the circle that begins and ends all things..
life that is eternal.. beating gorgeous wings of noor and life and light upon your soul..


MEDITATIONS: Let your soul drift to find the O N E..

“I want to see you.
Know your voice.
Recognize you when you
first come ’round the corner.
Sense your scent when I come
into a room you’ve just left.

Know the lift of your heel,
the glide of your foot.
Become familiar with the way
you purse your lips
then let them part,
just the slightest bit,
when I lean in to your space
and kiss you.
I want to know the joy
of how you whisper
“more”
― Rumi

“This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.”
― Rumi

“Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love.”
― Rumi

“I am your moon and your moonlight too
I am your flower garden and your water too
I have come all this way, eager for you
Without shoes or shawl
I want you to laugh
To kill all your worries
To love you
To nourish you.”
― Rumi
