"Lost in the Sky of Love"

The shadows of evening fall thick
and deep, and the darkness of love
envelops the body and the mind.
Open the window to the west, and be
lost in the sky of love;
Drink the sweet honey that steeps the
petals of the lotus of the heart.
Receive the waves in your body: what
splendor is in the region of the
sea!
Hark! the sounds of conches and bells
are rising.
Kabir says: "O brother, behold! the
Lord is in this vessel of my body."

~ Kabir, The Mystic in Love : A Treasury of Mystical Poems by Gross, Shelley

This

Path to God

Made me such an old sweet beggar.

I was starving until one night

My love tricked God Himself

To fall into my bowl.

Now Hafiz is infinitely rich,

But all I ever want to do

Is keep emptying out

My emerald filled

Pockets

Upon

This tear stained

World.

Live Love

Live in the constant contemplation of your kinship with others and with
the Universe. Do good to others, treat all nature kindly, speak soft
and sweet words, become like a child devoid of envy, hate and greed.
When your love crosses the boundaries of your family and community, and
expands to those beyond, you have taken the first step to cross the
threshold of Maya (delusion).
