darshan


it's midnight here,
and your forehead shines
with a new dawn's mystery.

in your intimate garden as you take delight
looking at beauty stamped upon the flowers,
each flower sighs with strange longing
while upon your face
they're gazing.

the Presence that's both inside and outside of us
reward the ones who long for it.

darshan!
the garden bee shouts in ecstasy.

every moment your generosity
gives birth to a new kind of beauty.

call it nazar, darshan or the blessed glance -
the flowers, the garden bee
and this insignificant me,
now we all share
a common mystery.

on dear heart friend Carolyn's Birthday.
Happy Birthday Carolyn!
Blessings upon Blessings.

Agreed! Lovely!

And Carolyn, when this Soul Call came it was at first thought to be a message from my Divine One to me, then it transmuted into a message of love from my soul to the Divine. And then again it transmuted into a message of love from the God in me to the God in all those who cross my path.

And so I add it to your birthday gifts - from me and your Divine One:

"This Precious Moment"*

This precious moment
This precious moment is just for You

This precious moment,
for me to love You

How sweet the thought
How sweet the love
How sweet You are.
In this precious moment.

So beautiful. During read of the poem perpetually this hadith was in front of my eye:

rabbe arena al-ashya kamaa hi
O my Lord, represent to me things as they are.

Like this aya in which Moses request God to looking at Him:
rabbe areni anzur elayk
O my Lord, represent to me looking at you!
